# Jared Dubin — prediction record Jared Dubin covers the NFL for CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated, writing weekly picks columns and diving into roster questions across the league. His work spans game predictions, division races, and player evaluations—from Aaron Donald's return to the Rams to Marvin Harrison Jr.'s role in Arizona. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 49.4% - **MissedTakes Score:** 2.01 - **Graded articles:** 20 - **Graded individual calls:** 45 - **Clarity:** 95.74% LIMITED SAMPLE: between 10 and 29 graded articles. Treat with caution. 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.
