Game calls show that game’s closing betting line under their grade: a dated fact from nflverse, for context and never part of a grade. MissedTakes takes no bets and earns nothing from any sportsbook.
How each call scored
9 checkable claims — 8 game outcome picks and 1 playoff pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
All 9 have settled, averaging 77.8 out of 100, against 44.4 for a naive guess at the same calls.
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.
