# Doug Joubert — prediction record 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. ## Is Doug Joubert accurate? 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. 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:** 62.8% - **MissedTakes Score:** 12.85 - **Graded articles:** 8 - **Graded individual calls:** 53 - **Clarity:** 100% - **Hedged:** 40.45% 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.
