Blaine Grisak covers the Los Angeles Rams for Sports Illustrated, tracking roster moves, depth chart shifts and playoff positioning. The work extends to the Lions, Bears, Panthers, Bills, 49ers and Chargers, with predictions on game outcomes, season win totals and player availability.
Across 59 graded calls in 7 articles, Blaine Grisak scores 62.01% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of -3.41, which means their calls were worse than a naive guess on the same claims.
That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard.

Game calls show that game’s closing betting line under their grade: a dated fact from nflverse, for context and never part of a grade. MissedTakes takes no bets and earns nothing from any sportsbook.
The same 87, by how often their calls landed, with no credit for difficulty.
Blaine Grisak isn’t ranked yet: a record is ranked from 10 graded articles, so a lucky first handful can’t top the table.

Josh Downs to move — “the Colts may part ways with Downs for the equivalent of a fourth or fifth-round pick”
“In all likelihood, the Colts may part ways with Downs for the equivalent of a fourth or fifth-round pick. That's more affordable given the Rams' draft capital.”
Los Angeles Rams to beat Cardinals
“The Rams can ‘get right’ against the Cardinals in Week 6 and then the schedule lightens up.”
Buffalo Bills to beat Rams
“2. Rams Lose to Bills Before Going on a Winning Streak ... A loss to the Bills isn’t the worst thing. That would put the Rams at 2-3”
Closing line (Oct 12): Rams by 3.5 · underdog pick, Bills 38%.
Wesley Bailey to be cut
“It's going to be very difficult for the Rams to keep Wesley Bailey off the roster.”
Dean Connors to land on the practice squad
“it's possible the Rams are trying to hide him and sneak him onto the practice squad”
