How the call scored
One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.
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.

“With the game on a short week, we'll assume Kyle Monangai will miss another week to rest his toe injury.”

John Middlekauff · Draft Bust Calls · Caleb Williams · Miss 0
Middlekauff expects either Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson to win this year's MVP, calling them the two best players in the league. They are pessimistic on the Bears, forecasting six or seven wins and saying they'd bet Caleb Williams doesn't work out as a franchise quarterback. They also see Oklahoma's John Mattier as a first-round pick who'll be in the Heisman mix.Bryan DeArdo · Score Predictions · Chicago Bears · Hit 98
DeArdo picks the Bears to beat the Buccaneers on Sunday night in a defensive game, predicting a 20-16 final score.Danny Parkins · Game Outcome Picks · Chicago Bears · Hit 100
Parkins named the seven AFC teams they believe are already set as the playoff field, expects Chicago, Buffalo and Kansas City to win this week, took Green Bay over New England and Atlanta over Cincinnati outright, and kept Bills–Bears as their Super Bowl matchup with the Giants still winning the NFC East.“Stanford Steve” Coughlin · Game Outcome Picks · Chicago Bears · Hit 100

Tyler DeSena · Availability Calls · Aaron Brewer · Waiting
Previewing Miami's Week 10 trip to Indianapolis, DeSena expects center Aaron Brewer to be unavailable for the game while in concussion protocol, and frames the rest of the piece around Jonathan Taylor and Grover Stewart having big days, pressure dominating both passing attacks, and Ollie Gordon setting a career high in carries.JP Acosta · Availability Calls · Mike Evans · Waiting
Acosta argues no Super Bowl contender is flawless and names the fatal flaw for each, but the only firm forward-looking claim is that Mike Evans is unlikely to play against Dallas next week. The rest are conditional 'if they lose, here's why' framings rather than outright predictions.John Breech · Availability Calls · Micah Parsons · Waiting
Breech offered five bold second-half predictions, chief among them that the Packers win the NFC North despite being the division's longest shot, and that the Broncos overtake the Bills for the AFC's No. 1 seed for a second straight year. Breech also expected Micah Parsons back on the field in Week 12.Jack Markowski · Availability Calls · Michael Pittman · Waiting
Markowski writes that with no practice window opened, Pittman Jr. is unlikely to play against Cincinnati, while Ben Skowronek appears ready to return for that same game.
