# Jared Dubin — prediction record Jared Dubin covers the NFL for CBS Sports, writing season previews, weekly picks, and roster analysis across the league. His work spans the full scope of football forecasting—from division winners and Super Bowl picks to position group rankings and depth chart calls. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 43.37% - **MissedTakes Score:** -5.16 - **Graded articles:** 8 - **Graded individual calls:** 17 - **Clarity:** 93.33% PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and they are excluded from leaderboards. 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.
