One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.

Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.

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

> To open the year, we are catching Hampton as a three-down back attached to a double-digit favorite with a team total just below 30 points.
