# Chris Brockman: Brockman argued Buffalo belongs in the top five and Josh Allen will be an MVP candidate, said they'd drop Dallas from the list, and made their own picks in the international games win/loss game.

**Claimed:** May 13, 2026

6 claims — 5 game outcome picks and 1 positional finish — the 5 we can check 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.

3 of the 5 calls we can check have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

The other one was too vague to check, so it is not graded.

> I would probably have Buffalo in the top five.

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
