# Seeding, Byes and Home Field — 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.

## The numbers

- **Takes logged:** 117
- **Graded:** 51 (44% settled)
- **Average accuracy:** 39.2 out of 100
- **Scored 80 or more:** 20; **under 40:** 31
- **Pundits who have made one:** 37

## Who is good at seeding, byes and home field

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.
