Is Garrett Podell accurate? Across 3 graded calls in 3 articles, Garrett Podell scores 45.24% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of -29.31, which means their calls were worse than a naive guess on the same claims.

Fewer than 10 graded articles. Treat this as provisional.
100% of their claims were specific enough to check. Most of what they said committed to something.
Every number here is computed from the published methodology, and every call below shows its own arithmetic.
Teams and players where Garrett Podell keeps landing outside the room: at least twice, their call sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is their standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle. Computed, never chosen.
