Chris Roling writes for Sports Illustrated, covering the Los Angeles Chargers and other NFL teams including the Patriots, Bears, Cowboys, Seahawks and Rams. The work leans heavily on trade speculation and player movement, with recurring attention to figures like Khalil Mack, Justin Herbert and Quentin Johnston.
Across 4 graded calls in 4 articles, Chris Roling scores 57.74% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 5.4, 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.

Los Angeles Rams to beat Chargers

Drew Lock to be 1st on the depth chart
“meaning the Chargers won't see him in Week 4 on the road in Seattle, one of the toughest places to play in the NFL. Instead, they would line up against Drew Lock.”
