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 have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of five... I have the Rams at four... number three... I have the Lions... number two... I have the Chiefs... I'm going with the Coats as the number one team right now
I think they may already have the best tight end in the league in a rookie who's played just a handful of games in Tyler Warren.
one would have to be buff. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers understanding for me... So I'm puting y'all at three, But I'm gonna put the Indianapolis Colt said, too low key... I think Seattle, with what they've been doing
they said, the first five weeks of this season, Baker Mayfield played better than everybody.
Josh Allen is number one. Patrick Mahomes is number two... Bow Knicks is twenty, Jake Browning is thirty.
Dallas minus three at Carolina... I think the Cowboys offense can cook, and Dak has always cooked bad teams... Dallas minus three.
At the end of the show with LeBatard, I said in passing, I think Kansas City is going to beat Detroit... And I think the Chiefs just find a way. Chiefs minus two
I'm putting in Rams minus seven and a half at Baltimore here... The Rams need it. They are the team on extra rest. I trust Stafford. The Ravens are a mess.
I believe in the Bucks. I am impressed by the Niners, but I believe in the Bucks. They're at home, they are laying just three points. We're gonna go with Baker
And then Seattle plus not Ian s Jackson's. So I think Seattle might just win that game anyways.
I'm good with the Patriots to win by more than three and a half points in New Orleans like that.
And so that's why I think the Bills will likely win this game. But when I see a home dog four and a half points...
I feel really strong about Indianapolis to win... they're at home yet again. This time they host Arizona... this is a huge mismatch in favor of the Ponies.
if you believe the Rams will beat the Ravens, which I think we both do
I feel better about the Rams just winning this game. They have extra rest... All they have to do all day is just hand the ball off against a Ravens defense who is twenty eighth in the league against the run.
I'm not touching this game... Rams will win, but I'm not touching with him.
Seattle wins outright in a bad mood. Cross Country thirty twenty seven. Hawks rebound from that loss last week.
My favorite bet of the week is the Commander's minus four and a half... The Commanders win thirty three twenty six.
Chargers probably win this game twenty four to twenty three. I'm absolutely taking the points with the Dolphins.
I like the Raiders minus three and a half... Twenty six seventeen
Patriots win, but take the under. Let's say at twenty one to twenty ugly choppie game.
I'm not so sure that Baker Mayfield shouldn't be one... There are not six quarterbacks playing better than Baker Mayfield... they said, the first five weeks of this season, Baker Mayfield played better. Than everybody, and he has.
Josh Allen is number one, Patrick Mahomes is number two... Daniel Jones is eleven, Jaydon Daniels is twelfth, Sam Donald's thirteenth, Jalen Hurts is fourteenth, c J. Stroud is fifteenth, Bow Knicks is twenty, Jake Browning is thirty.
have fun While you're over there Washington, Broncos beat up on them Jets.
I really feel good about the Bengals playing the Packers... So don't be surprised if the Bengals happen to win against the Packers, who are probably heavily favored.
