It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 4 have settled, averaging 50 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So for me, Drake May is the MVP. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Drake Maye to win MVP** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Drake Maye, New England Patriots - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Mike Rabel to win Coach of the Year** - Kind: Coach Award Picks - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Jaxon Smith-Njigba to win Offensive Player of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Brian Flores to win Assistant Coach of the Year** - Kind: Coach Award Picks - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Drake Maye — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/drake-maye - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Jaxon Smith-Njigba — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jaxon-smith-njigba - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks ## What others said about the same people - Michael Hanich on Seattle Seahawks: Hanich argues the Week 2 road game at Arizona is not a true trap game, citing Seattle's long winning streak in the series, Mike Macdonald's preparation and injuries in the Cardinals' secondary, and rates his confidence in the Seahawks at 7.
