6 checkable claims — 2 award picks, 2 conference champions, 1 division winner and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 6 have settled, averaging 8.3 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> I have the Vikings winning the NFC North and the NFC and I'm not sorry that the Broncos are going to be the AFC champions.
