What John Green said

our reading, beside the words we read it from
If he keeps up this level of play, then there might be another Defensive Player of the Year award incoming for Rousseau in a few short months . . . and maybe even a Super Bowl title for Buffalo.

How each call scored

2 checkable claims — 1 award pick and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
