# Chris Brockman — prediction record Chris Brockman is part of the team on The Rich Eisen Show, where he contributes to NFL discussions ranging from power rankings to draft position predictions. His predictions span game outcomes, playoff berths, and player awards, with particular attention to teams like the New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 60.81% - **MissedTakes Score:** 18.3 - **Graded articles:** 71 - **Graded individual calls:** 183 - **Clarity:** 95.7% This is an established record: 30 or more graded articles. The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
