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.

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.
Uh through that is a top three FI right there. Easy
Caden McDonald is going to be a first round pick as well.
You've got rvel Reese off the ball, on the ball, linebacker Sonny Styles, who's going to be a first round pick.
you got downs at safety? Who's the first rounder? All day long?
And Carnell is one of those guys. I think he's a first round draft pick
starting with Patrick Mahomes as your number one quarterback for the week... Josh Allen comes in at two, Lamar Jackson at three, Jalen Hurts, Drake May, and Matthew Stafford at six. Your seven through twelve is Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Dak Prescott, Jacoby Brissett, bo Nix, and Jared Goff.
So I'm feeling pretty good about Jacoby Brissett, mostly because of the passing volume. I've got him one spot behind bow Nicks... You guys have him both. It looks like at eleven.
Yep, tight end six? I mean everyone just rocks the Bengals.
You guys have him both. It looks like at eleven... I also have bo Nicks ranked ahead of Jacoby Brissett.
He comes in at sixteen. You guys both have him at seventeen fits... So I think this is kind of a week to cool your heels on Colston Lovelin.
we've got the top twelve board starts us with Trey McBride at number one, George Kittle... brock Bowers at three, Travis Kelsey at four, Tyler Warren, Mark Andrews... Ronnie Gatson comes in at seven, Jake Ferguson, Hunter, Henry Dallas Goddard, Kyle Pitts, and Juwan Johnson.
You actually have him at twelve, So vibes are very high for you on Sam Donald.
Well, I do think that the Seahawks will probably kill the Minnesota Vikings, and in that case, they put up thirty thirty five points.
Right now, I've got Purty at quarterback seventeen... So brock Perty is going to be my quarterback eighteen.
Denver laying six and a half at Washington. I like Denver here that defense against Marcus Mariota, particularly Denver off a bye
I will jump on Kansas City minus three at Dallas... Will take Casey minus the three
Tampa minus three against Arizona... Bucky Irving finally returns, Tampa pounds the run Tampa minus three.
I'll take Seattle at home, laying the ten and a half
ten and a half points at home against Minnesota... I just think that Seattle's a lot better.
Your top five running backs in the NFL... I'm gonna have to say jamiir Gibbs... I'm gonna have to say John Robinson because his footwork... I'm gonna say Cam cams Boat... I watched a lot of Jonathan Taylor... And for another one, I'll probably say David Connhall number five, the running back that's with Jamier Gill... David Monty
I will lay the thirteen and a half with Seattle. Seattle is at Tennessee... I will take Seattle laying the thirteen and a half
I am rolling with Chicago laying two and a half at home against Pittsburgh... It feels like a Bear's ugly three point win.
I am rolling with Chicago laying two and a half at home against Pittsburgh... It feels like a Bears ugly repoint when... I'll take Chicago minus to two and a half
I will lay the thirteen and a half points with Seattle. Seattle is at Tennessee... I will take Seattle laying the thirteen and a half.
