How each call scored

19 checkable claims — 16 game outcome picks, 1 division winner, 1 player season number and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

10 of 19 have settled so far, averaging 50 out of 100, against 20 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room on every one.

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.

Where this call stands in the room

Los Angeles Rams · 2026 season · wins
