# Lane Mills — prediction record

Lane Mills covers the Tennessee Titans for Sports Illustrated, writing about roster decisions, depth chart battles, and player projections during training camp and into the regular season. His work ranges from joint practice takeaways to front-office analysis, with particular attention to quarterback and receiver competitions.

## Is Lane Mills accurate?

Across 8 graded calls in 4 articles, Lane Mills scores 11.91% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 2.08, which means their calls were 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:** 11.91%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 2.08
- **Graded articles:** 4
- **Graded individual calls:** 8
- **Clarity:** 95.24%
- **Hedged:** 51.38% 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.
