16 checkable claims — 16 season win totals — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 16 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

> That sounds like four, Mitchell. I feel good about them going four for four.

## More season win totals

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Chris Brockman on New England Patriots: Brockman's overreaction slate: Breece Hall leaves the Jets and plays in the playoffs next season, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the best receiver in the league, three quarterbacks (Mendoza first overall, plus Ty Simpson and Carson Beck) go in the first round, and the Patriots crater to a 7-10 season. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/855631ac-f41e-4f40-9368-ae99994bb8c3 (scored 0)
- Chris Brockman on New England Patriots: Brockman argued Jaxon Smith-Njigba is already the best receiver in the NFL and deserves to be the highest paid, called his shot that three quarterbacks (Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Carson Beck) go in the first round with Mendoza first overall, and suggested New England is headed for a 7-10 season. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c47d130c-5598-4cd0-b546-1121046b9166 (scored 0)
- Rich Eisen on Jacksonville Jaguars: Rich Eisen gave his Week 15 top-10 power rankings, installing the Rams at No. 1 as the best team in football, adding the Jaguars and keeping the Bears despite their loss, while dropping the Cowboys and Eagles off the list. He also projected 10-win seasons for both Chicago and Jacksonville and said the Jaguars would handle the Jets at home. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/a3c3755f-fe00-4096-a948-18cb17e42e14 (scored 40)
- Rich Eisen on Kansas City Chiefs: Eisen endorsed the Eagles' defense carrying them to the NFC championship and the Rams being the NFL's best team, but predicted the NFC North sends only Green Bay and Detroit to the playoffs, that Kansas City wins five of its last seven, that the 49ers make the playoffs, that Baltimore wins the AFC North, and that Tampa Bay wins the NFC South with both the Bucs and Panthers losing their upcoming NFC West road games. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/f7e77ff9-c596-4b8e-a10d-989cd6fa12a9 (scored 20)
- Chris Brockman on Jacksonville Jaguars: Brockman argued the Seahawks are the NFC's best team and will land the No. 1 seed, that Jacksonville will reach 11 wins and steal the AFC South from Indianapolis, that JJ McCarthy will lead the Vikings to the playoffs, and that Matthew Stafford will be an MVP finalist. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c16dfbcb-8010-440d-9408-61df080434c8 (scored 60)
- Rich Eisen on New England Patriots: Eisen agreed the Ravens will win the AFC North, said Jonathan Taylor is running away with Offensive Player of the Year, projected the Patriots as a 10-11 win team, endorsed the same seven-team NFC playoff field with Tampa and Indianapolis winning their divisions, and picked the Vikings (with Atlanta as another possibility) as the team most likely to crash the NFC field. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/9d70a28f-5903-48e9-9a97-7769f7838f48 (scored 20)

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
