3 checkable claims — 1 award pick, 1 score prediction and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 3 have settled, averaging 22.2 out of 100, against 37.5 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> Chiefs win thirty one to twenty seven. Mahomes MVP.
