15 checkable claims — 12 game outcome picks, 1 depth chart call, 1 power ranking and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 15 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

1 of 15 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

> I'm taking the Kansas City Chiefs on the road to beat the Las Vegas Raiders... That's my no doubt about it. Lock of the week.
