# Top Player Lists — 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:** 314 - **Graded:** 74 (24% settled) - **Average accuracy:** 56.9 out of 100 - **Scored 80 or more:** 15; **under 40:** 16 - **Pundits who have made one:** 117 ## By season - 2022: 1 of 1 graded - 2023: 14 of 16 graded - 2024: 16 of 24 graded - 2025: 43 of 64 graded - 2026: 0 of 209 graded ## Who is good at top player lists 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. - [Jason Cabinda](https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jason-cabinda): score 100, 100 accuracy, 1 graded across 1 article (provisional) -
