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.

Obviously, he's not going to win the MVP. That'll be Stafford or Drake May.
Obviously, he's not going to win the MVP. That'll be Stafford or Drake May.
I do believe he's the best quarterback in the league.
Picking Denver in the home upset against the Bills... I think that the Broncos in this one, I think that they win, and I think they win by more than one point.
So because of that, I'm gonna I will go against you and we'll just take the Bills as one of my picks.
I have the Texans by two, so technically I have the Patriot Sorry, the Patriots by two, so the Texans technically on the right side of that.
So I'm going Rams minus three and a half. We both were off on them last week... I think the Rams are a little more equipped to stop the run.
I think this week, in freezing cold conditions, they pull through and they win by more than four points, and that's the rams
Okay, I'm rolling with the Buffalo Bills
I think the Pats are gonna take care of business. I think it's Drake May's time.
Maybe a turnover here stopping the red seventeen to nine Houston.
So I gotta go with the Denver Broncos... got the Denver Broncos sneaking by with a win.
I think the luck is eventually going to run out for Chicago, and I think it's going to happen this weekend.
I don't think they can stop him. I'll go low seventeen sixteen Buffalo or thereabouts.
old man Matthew Stafford delivers... I don't see the Rams blowing this.
I like the Texas to win this out right.
if it doesn't affect the ability to throw the ball and Caleb Williams goes off for three hundred and forty passing yards against those corners, that would not surprise me at all
They're going up against an MVP candidate. I don't think Mayo win it. I think Stafford will.
So shock the world number one seed, Broncos go. I don't know that it's gonna happen.
Now, I do not I do not see the Bears winning this game.
And we're gonna get that four championship for my Broncos. So we gotta get it, man, we gotta get it.
here's this monster of the Denver Broncos, this defense. There is no way that he's looking forward to this one... So I know, I know they're ready for him this year... Broncos got it, yep
So Jared Verse, dude, man, you got Kobe Turner in the middle... I got the Rams.
I think right now my pick would be Matt Stafford in the Rams, but I think Seahawks can do it.
deep down kind of think Buffalo is gonna win this game by one, and so like that a twenty four to twenty three Bill's win
