Atlanta Falcons to beat Bengals
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 Chris Broussard would be #69; the Score measures the lift over a naive guess on the same calls, and that puts this record at #77.
