# Eric Williams — prediction record

Eric Williams covers the NFL for Fox Sports, with a particular focus on NFC West teams like the Rams and Seahawks. His work spans award predictions, power rankings, and weekly analysis pieces like the "West Coast Read" column, where he weighs in on everything from MVP races to coaching decisions across the league.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 50%
- **MissedTakes Score:** -97.25
- **Graded articles:** 4
- **Graded individual calls:** 4
- **Clarity:** 100%

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.
