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.

So I'm gonna go the Bills. Yes, they beat the Ravens, okay to get to the super Bowl.
I unfortunately drafted them as like one of my you know, top over underpicks with Nick Wright, to go over seven and a half. I just thought, and I still think, like it's possible.
go ahead and pick the Eagles to win the super Bowl. Again, let's repeat.
I wouldn't be surprised Jacksons Dart is starting like week two... So I think it's going to be a Jackson Darts season
And the Eagles beat the Lions.
as long as he has some promise, they could win six games and be happy this year
I still had the Cowboys in a spot where like they had have a chance to make the playoffs that I still think they could make the playoffs.
and the Green Bay Packers. You're in. Those are my NFC wildcard teams.

Mike Rabel new Man in town... new Man wearing the head coach headset in New England... I think he takes them back to the Promised Land with Drake May at quarterback
I don't know if it's I'm just drinking the kool aid or what, but this works for the Steelers.
The Seattle Seahawks, the New York Giants... and the Green Bay Packers. You're in. Those are my NFC wildcard teams.
The Cincinnati Bengals because Joe Burrow is always a playoff direct.
even though ash Genty is my offensive rookie of the year
I think the Giants are in by the hanging on by their teeth.
And the Chiefs, you guys are in all right? So they are my AFC playoff teams.
I predict the Green Bay Packers, of course they get in there.
The Seattle Seahawks maker return
And we can add the Dallas Cowboys because they always demand away into the conversation.
The ramps always take the Rams... The Rams are in the wildcard
I got the Steelers... You are my seventh seed in the playoff, Steelers
