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.

the forty nine Ers take down the Atlanta Falcons
We've got the Bengals advancing to take on the Buffalo bill and I have the Bengals advancing to the AFC Championship Game
the teams that will emerge from there will be Philly and I do believe Green Bay, but I believe that Philadelphia finds a way to win
the forty nine Ers take down the Atlanta Falcons
