# Bradley Locker — prediction record Bradley Locker covers the NFL for Pro Football Focus and Sports Illustrated while hosting the Locked On Bills podcast. The predictions here include depth-chart projections, roster moves, playoff seeding and draft positioning, with teams such as the Bills, Ravens, Bengals, Raiders and Giants in the mix. ## Is Bradley Locker accurate? Across 6 graded calls in 4 articles, Bradley Locker scores 90% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 61, which means their calls were better 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. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 90% - **MissedTakes Score:** 61 - **Graded articles:** 4 - **Graded individual calls:** 6 - **Clarity:** 97.78% - **Hedged:** 58.81% of claims - **Right when hedging:** not enough data - **Right when committing:** not enough data PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and they are excluded from leaderboards. 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.
