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.

Sam Donald looking like first team All Pro two as well and playing on and leading an elite team to this.
Unfortunately, he'll be Offensive Player of the Year because that's that's the standard deal there.
But but I know the Chief's gonna be in there. If the Chiefs ain't in there, everybody runs it, then color me surprised.
I like the Patriots to win by ten, twenty eight to seventeen.
Lamar Jackson's gonna eat favorite pick of the weekend Ravens minus six. They win twenty eight to twenty one, and it won't feel that close.
I think it's a choppie game. I'm gonna take the Texans twenty seven to twenty three.
You could get Baltimore plus one ten to make the playoffs plus money. / I did take that. I think they're going to the playoffs.
Atlanta's offense at home very good. Take the over forty four and a half points, twenty eight, twenty one thirty twenty four. My bad of Falcons win
So I like Denver to win, and I like Denver to cover the spread. Twenty eight twenty four Broncos win.
I believe green Bay will cover. I'm gonna go with green Bay.
I'm going money lining to Cowboys on this one.
Oh, Steelers getting points at home, Rogers revenge, money line
I'm gonna go with the Ravens... But I'm laying to six and a half
Yeah, I'm gonna take the Ravens to cover.
Can Andy Dalton keep up in a shootout? I don't think so. Bill's plus seven.
I have green Bay winning this one... I just think that Green Bay wins this one.
I'm taking the Falcons minus seven and a half... they're playing the Miami Dolphins
I would have. I would take the Patriots. But three and a half feels about right there.
Monday Night Football. I think that the Chiefs win by a big margin
the fact that Megg Buka and Tes Johnson will be the two starting outside wide receivers
I think they're gonna blow him out. I have it like thirty six to eighteen
the fact that Megg Buka and Tes Johnson will be the two starting outside wide receivers
Plus I have the Patriots winning.
It was Eagles, Commanders, Lions, Bears, Packers, Bucks, Rams.
