MissedTakes score for this kind of prediction only — accuracy measured against what a naive guess would have scored. Zero means no better than guessing.

provisionalRatings this early are samples, not reputations — the methodology sets out how many articles it takes before we call one settled.

    Detroit Lions to beat Bears

    I do kinda think the Lions win. I think that they're again, with nothing to lose, nothing to play for, I think Jared Goff and the Lions' offense just lets it rip.

    Cleveland Browns to beat Cincinnati Bengals

    Do I trust the Cincinnati Bengals... to be favored by seven and a half when you're going up against one of the best defense league, I really don't. So the Browns are just one a little extra.
