How each call scored
19 checkable claims — 7 game outcome picks, 3 division winners, 2 conference champions, 2 player season numbers, 2 power rankings, 1 depth chart call, 1 super bowl pick and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 14 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
5 of 19 have settled so far, averaging 60 out of 100, against 40 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room.
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.
