# Jason La Canfora — prediction record Jason La Canfora covers the NFL for Sports Illustrated, with recent work centered on the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns. La Canfora writes on trades, roster moves and player availability, tracking figures like Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Marlon Humphrey. ## Is Jason La Canfora accurate? Across 11 graded calls in 8 articles, Jason La Canfora scores 50% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of -46.42, 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:** 50% - **MissedTakes Score:** -46.42 - **Graded articles:** 8 - **Graded individual calls:** 11 - **Clarity:** 97.92% - **Hedged:** 57.12% 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.
