# Eric Williams — prediction record Eric Williams covers the NFL for Fox Sports, writing about NFC and AFC West teams including the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders. Williams writes the "West Coast Read" and "Overreaction Monday" columns, tackling playoff races, MVP contenders and weekly storylines across the league. ## Is Eric Williams accurate? Across 5 graded calls in 5 articles, Eric Williams scores 53.81% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of -73.66, which means their calls were worse 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:** 53.81% - **MissedTakes Score:** -73.66 - **Graded articles:** 5 - **Graded individual calls:** 5 - **Clarity:** 100% - **Hedged:** 31.75% 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.
