Doug Joubert writes about the New Orleans Saints for Sports Illustrated, covering roster moves, depth charts, power rankings and game predictions. The Saints are the focus, with occasional looks at the Browns and Vikings when the schedule calls for it.
Across 53 graded calls in 8 articles, Doug Joubert scores 62.8% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 12.85, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims.
