# Power Rankings — NFL prediction accuracy Scored under the published methodology (https://missedtakes.co/methodology), which sets out what counts as right, what a naive guess would have said, and why an earlier call is worth more than a late one. ## The numbers - **Takes logged:** 550 - **Graded:** 162 (29% settled) - **Average accuracy:** 63 out of 100 - **Scored 80 or more:** 58; **under 40:** 35 - **Pundits who have made one:** 117 ## By season - 2020: 8 of 8 graded - 2021: 1 of 1 graded - 2023: 1 of 1 graded - 2024: 22 of 22 graded - 2025: 130 of 131 graded - 2026: 0 of 387 graded ## Who is good at power rankings MissedTakes Score for this kind of prediction only — accuracy measured against what a naive guess would have scored; zero means no better than guessing. Ratings this early are samples, not reputations: the confidence tier says how many graded articles sit behind each. - [Jamie Erdahl](https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jamie-erdahl): score 100, 100 accuracy, 1 graded across 1 article (provisional) -
