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.

I didn't give a score twenty seven to twenty six Patriots. I am having them win straight up? Why not?
twenty seven to twenty six Patriots. I am having them win straight up?
I got K nine running away with the MVP of this game
MVP of this game... No, it's gonna go to Sam Donald Mentell, Sam Darnald the guy
I'm gonna go thirty one to twenty final score
I got the Seahawks winning this game... I expect them to win this game.
He's been fantastic. He's probably Offensive Player of the Year.
the fact that he had to go against the MVP of the league this year, which I'm assuming in Matthew Stafford
the Seattle Seahawks walk away with a decisive victory twenty four to ten over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl
I got Seattle winning this game. I got them covering the spread
Well, I think he's easily a top ten quarterback. And one thing that he's proven that no one would have believed a couple of years ago.
But I don't think it's crazy to say that Sam Darnold hoists a trophy. You gotta put him in the top ten.
I think Harbaugh's going to crush it with the Giants. They're going to be a playoff team next year.
Seems like to me, hoisting a trophy in about ten twelve days. Have to reconsider where we put him.
They'll get Fernando Mendoza with a number one pick.
They'll get Fernando Mendoza with a number one pick.
Sam Donald looked like a stud, a top ten quarterback thanks to Kobiac.
you can tell I'm heavily leaning toward the Seahawks. I think this number is way way off... this feels like a great spot for the Seahawks team
Just a real big time playmaker. I think he's the best wide receiver in the draft.
The Rams fans did not like not giving them a corner there at thirteen, but I had him taking Makay Leonard from USC
Denzel Boston is one of them from University of Washington, big physical, explosive, going to be there at that point later on in the draft, so later in the first round.
with their next pick, I had him taking a tackle and Blake Miller out of Clemson
three of my patriots got through and in three out of four last week, and Drake May is going to get it done for me in the super Bowl.
finishing up at thirty two the Seattle Seahawk... Brandon's to say... he's gonna best like a freak show out of South caro
Cardinal take look Carnel take in... So I had him going to the Jets there at sixteen
