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.

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.
They're going to beat the Lions just because I think the Lions limitations are going to prevent them from keeping up with the Rams.
I'm taking the Eagles minus eleven and a half... I like the Eagles to bounce back.
I have thirty sixteen. So and you know, my mom and... your model is very conservative.
I'm picking Dallas to cover five and a half.
Could it be a little bit of a letdown game for the Vikings who finally just got the monkey off their back... and I'm with you, Okay, yep
Can the Titans keep up in a shootout? I don't think so. I'm going thirty eight thirteen.
You know that they're gonna get in the as a wild card and face Green Bay in the first round
I'm just gonna go with Houston to win by more than ten.
I think the overall roster talent plus health of the quarterbacks plus quality of D line versus A line so favors the Eagles... Philly minus three at the Chargers.
it probably won't matter because the Bills have a playoff spot all but locked up. It would take a real Bills collapse.
and if Shador loses this game, he'll probably like he's cooked. No, No, they're gonna win this game.
I think they will be covering by halftime and covering the entirety of the second half. I'll lay the seven with Seattle
I like the Texans to win this game and at the very least cover that spread.
But Marcus Mariota has been playing great football. Yes, anyways, so I think he's gonna win that game too. I'm with you on this one.
My last one's gonna be the Browns... So they need to win by five points more, got it? That's what I'm taking
I don't care which which Washington quarterback is playing. Washington wins this one.
I'm going Chargers to cover three points against the Eagles... I like the Chargers to win.
And then also Patrick Mahomes's ability to scramble just narrowly puts them over the top... I know you're on the other side of that least in terms of wins
I see the numbers five and a half for Buffalo at home... I think that this is where the Bills at home the might... I think the Bills need to keep it together.
I'm fortunate that Andrew is your pick it for me. It's gonna be Washington, Washington
But I've been saying I still think the Chiefs are going to the playoff for two months.
I'll give you a prediction Sunday Night Football. The Chiefs win, and they also avoid going to six and seven
But the story for Dallas is Dak's been the second best quarterback in the NFL this year. It's been Stafford one, Dak two.
