# Philip Hughes — prediction record

Philip Hughes covers the NFC East for Sports Illustrated, with particular attention to the Washington Commanders. His beat runs from training camp observations through roster projections and divisional previews, tracking the small moves—bubble players, depth chart battles, workout signings—that shape a team before the season starts.

## Is Philip Hughes accurate?

Across 53 graded calls in 4 articles, Philip Hughes scores 83.47% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 9.52, 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:** 83.47%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 9.52
- **Graded articles:** 4
- **Graded individual calls:** 53
- **Clarity:** 100%
- **Hedged:** 33.58% 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.
