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.

Oh, I have Jalen Carter... Who will win the Defensive Player of the Year
How many yards you think Sakwon will have tomorrow night against the Cowboys. I think you have. I know you're gonna have his first hundred yard game.
I think this is the year, Jalen Hurts says, oh no, let me cook... and I think he wins the MVP.
when that guy is rushing the passer for the Las Vegas Raiders... Defensive Player of the Year, Mad Max
What jumps out here? Falcons?
So I would say probably the Steelers because I refer to them as the free space and the Bingo card
he put the Bengals in IF and the Jet
He did have the Jets in two yeah, yeah, yeah winning the division?
I say he leads the league in passing yards
we all three have the Bucks and the Ravens in the playoffs
I held the Patriots helmet up with the Steelers helmet and I chose the Steelers
Laman Jackson is going to win his third
I put him in my playoff team selections, and that's why I go with Baker as Mambie.
we all three have the Bucks and the Ravens in the playoffs
I'll stick with a solid pick and say, Joe Burrow, number back of the Cincinnati Thing.
The Defensive Player of the Year is going to be aided. Hutchinson from the Detroit Lions
I think I'm accurate in saying that we all three have the Bucks and the Ravens in the playoffs.
I had the Lions as a wild card
These are my AFC picks. Mantay mentioned the Steelers and the Patriots.
Well, now I'm the MVP and a Super Bowl champion. That would just be perfect. And I think it's going to happen.
the San Francisco forty nine ers pick in the wild card round at the NFC Division, I'm really really proud of
none of us had the Cowboys. And Axel put them in.
in twenty twenty five, your NFL MVP. Look at that Baker freaking may deal
when the Baltimore Ravens go over there in Buffalo, New York, they're going to be ready, they're going to be locked in, and they're going to be angry. So the team that I'm looking forward to in Week one to go up in enemy territory are the Baltimore Ravens.
Let's go soon to be three times IVP. Jackson ... in twenty twenty five ... he is the year of the Goat
