Across 40 graded calls in 13 articles, Pamela Maldonado scores 44.58% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 17.59, 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 #50 of 87 ranked NFL pundits on the MissedTakes leaderboard. Their strongest kind of call is Score Predictions (59.86% accuracy across 30 graded calls); their weakest is Game Outcome Picks (40% across 10 graded calls).

Buffalo Bills to beat Vikings
“Pamela Maldonado: Bills”
The same 87, by how often their calls landed, with no credit for difficulty.
Why the ranks differ: a naive guess scores very differently depending on which calls were made, from 15.25% on the hardest record here to 85.71% on the easiest. Accuracy alone flatters easy calls, so by accuracy Pamela Maldonado would be #71; the Score measures the lift over a naive guess on the same calls, and that puts this record at #50.
