# Playoff Picks — NFL prediction accuracy

Scored under the published methodology (https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/methodology), which sets out what counts as right, what a naive guess would have said, and why an earlier call is worth more than a late one.

- **Graded:** 486 (44% settled)
- **Average accuracy:** 59.5 out of 100
- **Scored 80 or more:** 289; **under 40:** 197
- **Pundits who have made one:** 113

## Who is good at playoff picks

MissedTakes Score for this kind of prediction only — accuracy measured against what a naive guess would have scored; zero means no better than guessing. Ratings this early are samples, not reputations: the confidence tier says how many graded articles sit behind each.
