What Nick Shook said

I still feel confident as though if I had to take any team in a neutral site or in a playoff game Homer away, I would still say Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid the Kansas City Chiefs.

How the call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

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

The call scored 53.6 out of 100, against 23.2 for a naive guess at the same calls.

The 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 call; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

  1. Power Rankings

    “You had the Chiefs won, and that was the rising the Seahawks, two, Eagle three... Bills are lower for me than five. Actually had them at six... I had the Ravens all the way up at eleven... I had the Patriots at eleven, you had them at ten... You had them nineteen, I had him seventeen”
