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 they go to the playoffs.
Won ten games last year, I expect him to win ten games again this year, potentially eleven
But I think their second I think they make the playoffs and I think they they give people a run for their money.
I see Jamison Williams firmly as a top twenty wide receiver statistically this year in the league.
I think they both win eleven games, and they're tied for the division, but the edge goes to the Seattle Seahawks.
a healthy Nicocollins, I think he's a top five receiver in the National Football League if he's healthy
I would say the Philadelphia Eagles go back to back.
I got the Lions playing the Bills lines coming away victorious.
he went won ten games last year and he'll find a way to win ten games this year
I think they both finished twelve and five, and I think somehow, some way, the Detroit Lions won that tiebreaker and win the division.
Give me Joe Burrow.
I think Seattle has enough to make the jump and to do that and win eleven games.
Top five power Ranks National Football League we're gonna go Philadelphia Eagles won, Baltimore two, Bill's three, Kansas City four or Detroit five.
But I'm telling you, I said, the Detroit Lions win in twelve games, twelve and five.
Dark horse candidate for Defensive Player of the Year. You've heard it here first, Jared Verse.
I mean Zach Sharbona looks different. I think he can end up being the guy more show than Kenneth Walker
He'll be the backup to Jero and Ford, but we'll see a lot of him
I do like Jacksonville in this game at home.
I've been saying this since they drafted him. I think he's going to be the volume, number one receiver on this team.
I like the Dolphins in this game in general ... I mean, I'm picking them, but you guys, why are you taking such big risks?
I too have the Baltimore Ravens winning the Super Bowl ... I have the Ravens winning over the Lions in the Super Bowl this year.
I really like the Jaguars, and this is what I'm looking at here.
Oh yeah, I could see them making the playoffs. A lot of other stuff has to go wrong injury wise for other teams in the AFC West
I do like this Steelers team because yes, I think that the Jets offense is gonna go real heavy personnel.
I'm scared for the Bills because I'm worried about their defense. I still think this is a playoff teams.
