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.
Why the ranks differ: a naive guess scores very differently depending on which calls were made, from 15.25% on the hardest record here to 85.71% on the easiest. Accuracy alone flatters easy calls, so by accuracy Chad Jensen would be #26; the Score measures the lift over a naive guess on the same calls, and that puts this record at #81.

Jordan Turner to be cut
“One of these linebackers could be waived to make room for Henley on the 53-man roster. My guess is that it'll be Turner, but it's a coin flip between him and Reid.”
Denver Broncos to beat Chiefs
“The Broncos now sit at 5-2 and they have the chance to overtake the Chiefs in the AFC West this week if they can get the win... don't be surprised if he gets the last word on Mahomes and company after Week 1's ugly loss at Arrowhead Stadium.”
Closing line (Nov 1): Broncos by 1.5 · a toss-up, Chiefs 50%, Broncos 50%.
Jonah Coleman to be cut
“But once Coleman heals up and his four weeks have passed, the Broncos will have to waive someone to make room for him on the 53-man roster. And they're going to need him.”
Denver Broncos 18 — Jaguars 16
“Pick : Broncos 18, Jaguars 16”
Closing line (Sep 20): Broncos by 2.5, total 45.5 · this 18–16 calls a closer game (Broncos by 2) and fewer points (34).
Tycen Anderson to be cut
“Anderson was just signed in the offseason, but I'll be surprised if he survives the final roster cuts.”
Troy Franklin to be cut
“Again, I believe Franklin is making this roster... Don't count on Franklin being waived, but for the reasons listed above, it's something to watch out for.”
Devon Key to make the roster
“as a first-team All-Pro special teams ace, his place on the roster is secure”
Sam Ehlinger to make the roster
“I'm doubtful the Broncos will be willing to carry three quarterbacks on the roster out of camp, which means Ehlinger is likely to hit the waiver wire at the end of the month.”
Karene Reid to make the roster
“He made the roster last year as an undrafted rookie, and it's looking very good for him again.”
