How each call scored

9 checkable claims — 6 award picks, 2 depth chart calls and 1 coach award pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 12 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below 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.
