NEW YORK, New York, November 13, 2026, MissedTakes has passed its 15,000th graded take. The running count of predictions we've reconciled against actuals reached 15,011 on the 11th of November.

A "graded take" is one checkable opinion: a prediction pulled from a published article, podcast or broadcast by an approved pundit, that is scored when the result has been established. To date, those takes are largely with NFL commentary and opinions about the 2026 US midterm elections.

Across 13 completed seasons of coverage, pundits' NFL calls have averaged 62.8 accuracy and US Elections calls 69.8.

In this large volume of takes, a number of pundits with large bodies of work are setting the pace for the app. From an accuracy perspective [Jared Koch](/pundits/jared-koch) tops the NFL leaderboard with a MissedTakes Score of 81.18 and 73.61 accuracy across 19 graded takes from 12 articles. He sits ahead of [Joe Marino](/pundits/joe-marino), who has built a 181-take record from 14 articles with a score of 74.94 and 80.17 accuracy. One of the calls graded as the count crossed 15,000 belonged to [Patricia Traina](/pundits/patricia-traina), whose suggestion that the Giants could trade J.J. McCarthy scored 100 accuracy when the deal was reported.

"Fifteen thousand graded takes means fifteen thousand data points we can use to demonstrate who our readers should be listening to and trusting when seeking advice on subjects like sports and politics," said Ben Garves, founder of The GoodApps Company. "That's the whole point: when the lines blur between news and opinion, let's grade the opinionists to see who we should be listening to."
