# Bill Huber — prediction record Bill Huber covers the Green Bay Packers for Sports Illustrated, tracking everything from roster battles to power rankings to divisional matchups with the Lions, Bears, and Vikings. His work spans game previews, snap counts, and the kind of postgame breakdowns that sort the studs from the duds. ## Is Bill Huber accurate? Across 82 graded calls in 20 articles, Bill Huber scores 77.48% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 9.49, 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 #59 of 87 ranked NFL pundits on the MissedTakes leaderboard. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 77.48% - **MissedTakes Score:** 9.49 - **Graded articles:** 20 - **Graded individual calls:** 82 - **Clarity:** 98.88% - **Hedged:** 43.34% of claims - **Right when hedging:** 80% (12 graded) - **Right when committing:** 70.79% (70 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.
