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 think that he's clear cut the number one receiver and brock Bauer playing tight end but number two pass catcher on the Raiders
What's Cooper Cup's line look like this year? ... Forty four hundred.
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 yeah, he's going to be a starter. But and the Patriots may not have Christian Zales week one
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
I think the Chiefs are the best team in football. I think the Chargers are around the fourteenth best team in football.
The Raiders over six and a half at minus one forty five.
I think Miami wins the game outright... I'll take Miami plus one at Indy
Jags plus one eighty, Chiefs minus three eighty ... Those are make playoffs
This feels to me like twenty one to twenty Raiders.
Giant Giants five to one for a quarter unit ... Those are make playoffs
Raiders plus three forty for a half unit ... Those are make playoffs
I think the Jags are going to make the playoffs.
The Bears over eight and a half at plus one point fifteen. I like everything about the team.
Tampa over nine and a half is probably my favorite bet of all of these... I think that they are going to win at least eleven games, maybe twelve or thirteen.
and the Bucks minus one seventy. Those are make playoffs
The Colts under seven and a half at minus one thirty. This is my favorite of the unders. I think they could end up with the number one pick of the draft.
Buffalo getting one at home against Baltimore... Buffalo is too good of a team to be a home dog
Then favorite, I gotta say, man, I think it's the Jags over seven and a half.
I think the Raiders win this game. And I'm getting two and a half points.
Kansas City defeat Tampa Bay at plus eleven thousand.
we are betting the overs for the following teams with the following Juice Jags over seven and a half minus one twenty five
And Atlanta over seven and a half at minus one forty
I think that they are, you know, a seven to eight win team, so I will take under ten and a half for the Niners.
