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 will defend the Cede Lamb contract. I think he's a top five or six receiver.
if you're telling me that you want him to be more than a seven or eight win per year on average guy, which is Carolina football historically
I went through the schedule and it looks like eight and nine, nine and eight to me
Ashton Genty Rookie of the Year
My selection for the twenty twenty five Rookie of the Year is Shamar Stewart from the Cincinnati Bengals.
he will be getting the award for Offensive Rookie of the Year
Number one overall pick will be starting week one.
For Defensive Rookie of the Year, Abdul Carter is the name to watch. He's a linebacker drafted by the Giants
then Axel promptly picked Ben Johnson himself
Oh my gosh, the Packers. I got the Packers
if you saw my MVP prediction yesterday, you saw that I chose Lamar Jackson as my MVP
The rams are in the wild card
So I got Abdul Carter as a defensive Rookie of the Year.
I have the Chargers with an AFC wild card.
The New England Patriots, welcome back... Welcome back the Patch to the playoffs.
the Baltimore Ravens, after twelve long years, will be Super Bowl champs
For Offensive Rookie of the Year, one named Ashton Genty who landed with the Las Vegas Raiders.
I think the Lions matter. I think Dan Campbell's a great coach.
The Steelers are your free space in bingo.
the Minnesota Vikings, in their fifth Super Bowl appearance, will finally, for the first time in the history of the organization win a Lombardi
it's going to be a defensive Rookie of the Year
I picked Ben Johnson the Bears
I have the former Nitton Lion another one and Tyler Warren as my offensive rookie of the year.
So I think they're gonna be very good. I think they'll make the playoffs, but I think the division, Jay...
I like the Jets here to win straight out twenty four to twenty
