# Alain Poupart — prediction record Alain Poupart covers the Miami Dolphins for Sports Illustrated, tracking roster moves, depth charts, and player availability alongside game predictions. The work extends to AFC opponents including the Patriots, Jets, Chiefs, and Chargers, with regular mailbag and power-rankings roundups. ## Is Alain Poupart accurate? Across 102 graded calls in 13 articles, Alain Poupart scores 74.14% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 24.95, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a limited sample, under thirty graded articles, so treat it with caution. That ranks #33 of 87 ranked NFL pundits on the MissedTakes leaderboard. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 74.14% - **MissedTakes Score:** 24.95 - **Graded articles:** 13 - **Graded individual calls:** 102 - **Clarity:** 100% - **Hedged:** 47.35% of claims - **Right when hedging:** 83.33% (12 graded) - **Right when committing:** 73.76% (90 graded) LIMITED SAMPLE: between 10 and 29 graded articles. Treat with caution. The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
