- 1Detroit Lions to beat Patriots“So I'm throwing 15 chips... 15 on the Lions... So I love Detroit.”
- 2Atlanta Falcons to beat Chiefs“Just throwing four down on Atlanta... I'm going small on the Falcons to pull off the upset.”
- 3Green Bay Packers to beat Minnesota“So I am still on Green Bay's side in this game. I'm picking them, but I cannot do it with nearly as much confidence as I had seventy two hours ago”
- 4San Francisco 49ers to beat Dallas“an upset would absolutely shock me. I don't really see a scenario for it... there's just a very specific Niners offense against Cowboys defense mismatch that I do not see a solve for.”
- 5New York Giants to win the division“They were the top of the NFCs you called it. You're the only one. I am the only one who called it. And as someone who has them, it's six to one to win this division from before the year.”
- 6Cincinnati Bengals to beat Steelers“I'm going 23 of the mangoes... And I think the Bengals come out.”

How each call scored
6 checkable claims — 5 game outcome picks and 1 division winner — 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.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
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.
