The middle ground
The same graded calls, zoomed to the bands between the spikes — every take that earned partial credit.
Takes in each band
1,344 graded takes land strictly between the extremes, and the shape has a story: the counts climb as the scores improve. A take that earns partial credit is far more likely to be nearly right than nearly wrong.
This is where the curve-graded kinds live — mock draft picks (914), season win totals (151) and positional finishes (130) — the kinds where missing by a little costs a little, not everything.

Sixteen through twenty sixteen Arizona Cardinals Kenneth Grant
Chauncey Gardner Johnson, you are my number five... Josh Sweat... They are my number three... Cooper Gene the rookie... Zach Bond again... Jalen not hurts Carter
Number five... I have Jalen Hurts... number four. I put Jordan Mailatta... Number three Jalen Carter... Number two I have Lane Johnson... And the number one I have Saquon Barkley.
This is a team that is loaded. They're going to continue to be loaded ... This is a team that we should see in the Final four for the next few years.
"I have Lamar at number five..." "Josh Allen, who was the regular season MVP" (No. 4), "I've got to throw Joe Burrow in here" (No. 3), "I still have Jalen Hurts at number two", "it's obviously it's Patrick Mahomes" at No. 1
Chauncey Gardner Johnson, you are my number five. Josh Sweat... Cooper... They are my number three top five Eagle... Zach Bond again... and honestly, like to Kyle's Jalen not hurts Carter
Number five... I have Jalen Hurts... Number four, I put Jordan Mailatta... Number three Jalen Carter... Number two I have Lane Johnson... And the number one I have Saquon Barkley.
I like Kansas City in this game. But you know I say this without a ton of conviction... I think you're going to get a classic super Bowl, super Bowl fifty nine.
But until you beat the champs, I gotta go with the champs... I can't bet against Kansas City. So I'm going with Kansas City.
So here is my pick for the Philadelphia Kansas City Super Bowl. Chiefs are minus one and a half. I like Kansas City and here's why.
I like Kansas City thirty, Philadelphia twenty seven, Super Bowl fifty nine
Offensive line Chiefs are Eagles... You got I think Philadelphia.
wide receiver. Which group has the advantage The Chiefs with d hop Worthy in Hollywood Brown or the Eagles with AJ Brown DeVonta Smith... Philadelphia
So I think I'm gonna go Eagles here, Colin
tight end Colin. Who you got the Chiefs with featuring Kelsey and Gray or the Eagles feature Goddart... I'll go Travis Kelsey
running backs. Colin Chiefs are Eagles, the Chiefs by Committee or the near MVP SA quad mark easy one. Philadelphia
We'll do the defensive front seven Chiefs or Eagles... I like Kansas City?
which quarterback you love the most passing yards in the second half... I'm gonna take Patrick Mahomes.
AJ Brown is a top three to four receiver in the league.
Davante may be the most talented number two receiver he and t Higgins in the NFL.
I'm gonna give it to Jalen Hurt's twenty seven to twenty four Eagles in overtime.
I'm gonna give it to Jalen Hurt's twenty seven to twenty four Eagles in overtime.
twenty nine, twenty six Chiefs MVP Mames
Cry Eagles Cry twenty nine, twenty six Chiefs MVP Mames
twenty seven to twenty four Eagles in overtime
