# Jeff Kerr — prediction record Jeff Kerr covers the Philadelphia Eagles for Sports Illustrated, writing on roster decisions, snap counts, depth charts and weekly game expectations. The coverage follows Drew Kendall, Will Shipley, Marquise Brown and others through availability questions, movement and projected roles. ## Is Jeff Kerr accurate? Across 191 graded calls in 19 articles, Jeff Kerr scores 74.98% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 1.84, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a limited sample, under thirty graded articles, so treat it with caution. That ranks #68 of 87 ranked NFL pundits on the MissedTakes leaderboard. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 74.98% - **MissedTakes Score:** 1.84 - **Graded articles:** 19 - **Graded individual calls:** 191 - **Clarity:** 100% - **Hedged:** 42.7% of claims - **Right when hedging:** 75.93% (32 graded) - **Right when committing:** 80.56% (159 graded) 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.
