# Joshua Schulman — prediction record

Joshua Schulman covers the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders for Sports Illustrated, writing on roster decisions, depth charts, game previews and player movement. The coverage follows Harrison Butker, Justin Fields, Kenneth Walker III and others across game weeks and trade windows.

## Is Joshua Schulman accurate?

Across 2 graded calls in 2 articles, Joshua Schulman scores 50% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 0, which means their calls were no better 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:** 0
- **Graded articles:** 2
- **Graded individual calls:** 2
- **Clarity:** 100%
- **Hedged:** 52.78% 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.
