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.

So they should beat the Raiders, they should beat the Falcons.
So they should beat the Raiders, they should beat the Falcons.
Yeah, I mean, and they should beat the Bears... they should be able to beat them.
you have delivered your six picks money line on the Saint... And it's gonna and they're gonna win. Hard to play in New Orleans
Rightings Niners, Moneys three On the road, I'll take Sam Bran.
It's my money line of the week, second one... money line in the Chiefs?
I'll take Kansas City... If Patrick Mahomes is getting points and yes at home, I'll take the Chiefs... Well, then can I have money line the Chiefs too?
I also spoiler alert don't think Kansas City is going to lose. And I think that the Chiefs being home dogs with Patrick being healthy is a slap in the face... But I think Kansas City is better than Philadelphia.
If you remember, I had a missing the playoffs, not having a bad year, but just being odd man out. And then they got Mike and I said, okay, I'll put him in the playoffs.
The Chiefs aren't. That's fine, but go ahead and pencil the Chiefs in for one of the playoff spots.
I think the sheer target volume and catch volume Chris olave has is going to make him a wide receiver three, a playable wide receiver three all year long.
I'm going right back to the well here with Jalen Waddle. I still think that he can be a top thirty six receiver.
you got him three, you got him really high this week... Erickson has got him at eleven... Fifteen. You are not like out necessarily on Garrett Wilson... Ericson, you are right on consensus (Agbuka at twenty)... Ericson, you are the highest wide receiver twenty one... you've got him at wide receiver twenty six... Ericson, you've got him at thirty three
You put him at wide receiver nine this week... You get to own him because you have him. At twelve... You have met number twenty five... Fitz has got him at thirty one... You've got him at wide receiver thirty... You got him right at the end of your wide receiver twos (Jamison Williams)
Here is our top twelve board... Jamar Chase coming in at number one this week in the consensus ranks, CD lamb Att two... We start with Drake London at thirteen... Ricky Pirosol at twenty four... We start with DJ Moore going up against Detroit DeVante Smith, Tyreek Hill. All the way down at twenty seven, Travis Hunter, George Pickens, Jacoby Myers, Jamison Williams, Debo, Hollywood Brown, Romadoonze, Jerry Judy, and Calvin Ridley.
And John Mattier is going to be a first round pick.
if I was a betting man right now, I would say this is not gonna work. I don't think Caleb is good... you would put money on Caleb Williams not working out... worst case scenario, Kayleb Williams is a bust, which is a tough word to say when you draft a guy number one overall
He will be in the Heisman mix, and he will be discussed as a top fifteen to twenty pick.
Josh all and Lamar Jackson are gonna continue to rack up MVPs. I would be stunned if one of those two guys doesn't win the MVP this year.
Josh all and Lamar Jackson are gonna continue to rack up MVPs. I would be stunned if one of those two guys doesn't win the MVP this year.
if it's not week one, I think it he eventually will take over the a back role and it will be a one to two punch between Crosskey Merrit and Eckler
But yeah, he's going to be a starter. But and the Patriots may not have Christian Zales week one
What's Cooper Cup's line look like this year? ... Forty four hundred.
I think that they could win by double digits... So I think they're going to destroy the Tennessee Titans.
But I am an Or, and I think he's a starter. I mean he won the job or Van Jefferson
