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.

Every NFL take
1001–1025 of 3,881
I'll take Baltimore minus three knocks locks
Broncos will cover. Stick's picks.
I'll take the Colts on the money line. O knocks locks
there's a chance that he is the RB one for the New Orleans Saints this week. So this obviously comes with a caveat at Devin Neil Alvin Kamara don't play
I think he's going to finish as a top twelve option in Week sixteen
Omaron Hampton RB one, Sison... I feel much better about this one for Omary and Hampton facing the Dallas Cowboys.
Quinn Shawn Judkins breaks out of his slump and finishes top twelve against Buffalo
my prediction here is about tight ends Cardinals Falcons. I'm going to say that it gives us two top five tight ends... Kyle Pitts and Trey McBride
I think Tony Pollard could kind of have another solid game like top twenty four running back two straight weeks. I think this is gonna be the third week in a row he can be a top twenty four guy.
McBride and Pitts are gonna be top five again here
I think this game is going to be played in the fifties, and I think the Ravens will win.
I am predicting here that this is the Justin Jefferson game. We finally get him back. I'm calling it top fifteen ish.
So I think that the Chiefs could lose outright to the Titans
Patriots are gonna win this game, obviously, so that'll be my part one of my prediction.
But I think this is probably a Rams twenty eight to twenty four win.
I think Dallas wins... I would be shocked if Minnesota wins this game.
But I also think this is a green Bay win by a field goal game.
all lay the twelve and a half with San Francisco
I'm gonna take Green Bay minus the points to win and cover twenty eight twenty four.
I think the Rams win and the Rams cover. Final score thirty three, twenty six.
I think the Seahawks blow them out thirty to six
you're a home seven point favorite against rookie Shador Sanders, so this is a game they should win
I think the Bears do enough to win here, but I have no action on this game.
He is twelfth right now. He drops seven spots... to answer your question about who was at eleven, it was brock Purty
You told me the Rams are going to win the Super Bowl in some form or fashion... I believe I might have ended with book it. That's how confident I am in the Rams right now.
