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.

I'm going to money line the Steelers
I don't understand how they're favored it in this game at home... I'm going money line with this one as well.
I'm going to take the Chiefs to cover man
I'm gonna take the points with the Falcons
I'll also go Denver money line here
I'm gonna lay the five and a half points with the Patriots here at home
I'll take Houston. I think they're going to go two in a row here... I'll take the Texans at home.
I'll take Pittsburgh plus three... I think they're probably still going to lose this game, just not by more than two and a half.
I'm gonna take Atlanta plus five and a half. I see this as a potential bounce back spot.
I'm gonna take the three points in Pittsburgh... So I'll take the three points in Pitt
Give me Buffalo money line.
I think Drake May is going to be a multiple time Pro Bowl or doesn't surprise me.
It's the Rams are not losing, right, They're not losing to the Saints.
And the Chargers aren't losing against the Titan
Keep an eye on Jordan Love is a dark horse in the MVP race.
the way they've been playing, I don't think they can beat this defense, this Chiefs defense running the ball the way they have
You know what I'm telling you, Jordan loves winning the MVP. I think he's in that scenario.
the Atlanta Falcons were at six and a half of money has come in on the Falcons on the road against the Patriots... So maybe you can make a case for the Falcons
And the Packers are not losing to the Panthers.
I the Raiders beating the Jaguars in Vegas?
history tells us that Buffalo coming off scoring forty points and Josh Allam's grandmother time to smile, will probably win this game as well as Kansas City's playing
as far as the Chargers, the Broncos and the Chiefs, they are looking like all three will be in the playoff picture
It's the Steelers... Is it nine to eight and they squeak in or is it ten and seven and they have a nice comfortable wild card. It is still going to happen. I won't deviate.
I am most proud of putting that Patriot's logo in the wild card.
as far as the Chargers, the Broncos and the Chiefs, they are looking like all three will be in the playoff picture
