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.

It looks like you like Dallas there Demons' yeah. I would love minus one... Caylee dak Prescott over Caleb Williams.
I hope you're right. I picked New England make the playoffs.
So Demonsay's on the record he likes New England to win out right there... I think the team with Aaron Rodgers' comments... in New England, like they're showing some continuity.
Ravens win thirty twenty three. I'll take him to cover the spread.
Cowboys win at twenty eight twenty seven, But I like the over on this game.
I think they'll beat the Giants this weekend.
I like Seattle here at home twenty eight to twenty.
I'm gonna take the Rams to upset them. Twenty seven twenty three.
I like the Patriots straight out to win this game. Twenty seven twenty three.
The Patriots ooh, I do agree with you on this, but I'm like a little freaked out... I'm with you. I think I think it's close
I think that the Bucks win. I don't think that they win in a very super convincing fashion
I did hit the Cowboys game. We agree on that... that's ultimately why I picked the Cowboys.
So I'm gonna go ahead and take them because I have the Cowboys winning that outright
the Jacksonville run game looks really good. I think they I think they're a proof team. I think they could be the seven seed, for instance in the AFC.
I'm going against the Lions as my third pick. I'm taking the Ravens minus four and a half... I am going Ravens.
the Super Bowl this year is going to feature your Detroit Lions and my Baltimore Ravens because that was my super Bowl pick before the year, with the Ravens winning
I love points. I think it's like forty one to thirty one.
I'm going to keep it with the spicy ones that are the wrong favorite... The Patriots... I just think their defense is more than what the... old line for the Steelers can handle.
Tyrone Tracy is returning kickoffs for the Giants, which strikes me as kind of a tell that the Giants see him as the number two.
If I had to make a bet on who's gonna probably be more snaps this week, it would probably be ken Walker
do you think Cam Skataboo aka Scam is the back over Tyrone Tracy starting in Week three? I do, and I think the hostile takeover of the Giants backfield began last week.
Fitz you've got him at seven... You guys both hand in hand are saying twenty two... fits has got him at seventeen... I've got o'mary and Hampton ranked ORB twenty three... Fitzi, you are twenty seven... I've still got him ranked running back thirty this week... Remandre one spot higher... FITZI, you've got him at thirty three... fits you've got him at thirty five
kicking off the top twelve running backs, starting with number one Bijon Robinson... Bashin Tootle Beshon too Ba, Shaal Toutin, and Cam Scataboo.
Ericson you've got him at eleven... You've got him at sixteen (Genty)... ericson, you've got him at sixteen (Walker)... You guys both hand in hand are saying twenty two... You've got him at twenty six... Ericson had him at thirty two... ericson you've got him at thirty three
now Justin Fields is out and Tyrod Taylor starting this week and against Tampa if they go in three, which they probably will
