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.

six Cleveland Browns... So I'm taking David Bailey Edgreusher
the Tampa Bay Bucks at fifteen to go get cash? Is how the edge from A and M
the fifth pick, Man Stewart Delane is my top corner in the draft going to the Giants
two offensive linemen going back to back with Arizona and Tennessee. Spencer Fano from Utah and then Francis malioa... massive tackle there at Miami
I would be stunned if the winner of this game does not win the Super Bowl... I just believe I think this is the Rams year.
If I'm right that he's winning the MVP, he has cemented himself as a Hall of Famer league MVP plus super Bowl championship
Like I think, even if the Patriots were to lose the game, I still think it'd be a close game, and I believe New England will win it.
I think this is a seventeen thirteen twenty one to seventeen seventeen fourteen type of game where New England wins. I do think the Patriots win, but I think the Broncos cover.
I'm going to say that the Patriots win and cover twenty to thirteen over the Broncos
I like the Broncos in this one to win straight up, though, and I like the lower scoring affair... Nineteen seventeen Broncos beat the Patriots.
I think this is an upset special. I think Broncos twenty to fourteen... I think Broncos win twenty fourteen defensive battle.
I think the Patriots are going to beat the Broncos seventeen to thirteen.
I picked the La Rams as a Super Bowl champion. Wow, So I have to roll with them.
Mike's always have the upper hand on Shawn's Patriots win. Mike Frable over Sean Payton, Patriots win twenty four to seventeen.
I'm thinking it's going to be a close one, So I'm gonna take the Broncos to cover. But the Patriots to win... It's seventeen twenty to seventeen.
but he led the NFL in passing yards. He is my MVP.
I would Ben Johnson would be my two. Vrabel one Ben two.
I rank the top ten players... Number ten, Pooni Ford Rams... number nine Kevin Dotson... Number eight Jared Verse... Number seven Kyen Williams... Number six Kenneth Walker... Number five Sam Donald... Number four Devin Witherspoon... Number three JSN... Number two Matt Stafford... number one Pooka... Number eleven I have Kobe Turner for the Rams... I think I had Leonard Williams number twelve
Mike McDonald, Liam Cohen, who would be my call, and then Ben Johnson of the Bears, who probably would be my number two call.
I have the Broncos winning it straight up, who by one point?
we're not The Seahawks got it to win the Super Bowl. / Yep, you already know. Well, I mean I just ran my model
I think the Patriots are going to play nearer their best and then that results in a two or three point win. Like, I think that's kind of the outcome here.
Obviously they get this win. I think the winner of this game wins the Super Bowl.
I too think that New England is going to be too tough a task for them... New England Patriots are going to be marching out of the Super Bowl.
Matthew Stafford the MVP of the league this year is what I'm assuming he's gonna be named at some point.
