# Simon Hunter — prediction record Simon Hunter is a regular voice on "Sharp or Square," the betting-focused segment of The Herd with Colin Cowherd. His predictions span divisional previews, win totals, playoff picks, and fantasy sleepers across both conferences, with a particular eye on quarterback play and draft markets. ## Is Simon Hunter accurate? Across 23 graded calls in 4 articles, Simon Hunter scores 61.63% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 66.73, 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:** 61.63% - **MissedTakes Score:** 66.73 - **Graded articles:** 4 - **Graded individual calls:** 23 - **Clarity:** 91.35% - **Hedged:** 30.23% 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.
