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.

1901–1925 of 3,881
Eckler, I think is probably going to lead this backfield in snaps and maybe touches too
The rushing upside makes him a top ten quarterback draft.
So I just got Rashid Rice in the ninth round of a homely draft last weekend. I think that's pretty decent
Drake May is my QB eight. I think he could give you rushing numbers very similar to what Justin Fields.
I have him wide receiver sixteen here you got my rankings like he steps in new a high volume roll right away
Vegas six and a half at minus one hundred and forty five
I do think they go back to the playoffs.
You got the Raiders to make the playoffs at plus three forty
So I will take and I will bet the Bears over eight and a half
So I like the Commanders over nine and a half... I had the Commanders and the Eagles both finishing eleven and six
I am going over with the Rams for nine and a half
Lions over under is at ten and a half... I have to go with the plus money side, So I will say over
I will go over with the New York Giants. You just have to get to six wins.
one of my bets will be Falcons over seven and a half at minus one forty
but it is close to twenty so I would lean over on that
This also is not a bet demands because I think eleven winds is where it lands... I had the Commanders and the Eagles both finishing eleven and six
I mean I believe in Russ a little bit more than you do. You can get six wins. They pull together six
I think they're going to start three and zero at Atlanta at the Texans home for the Jets
I think they're going to start three and zero at Atlanta at the Texans home for the Jets and obviously Texans are a good team. I think Tampa's better
I am going to go under on the Panthers and over on the Saints
For the overs, We've got Jags at seven and a half at minus one twenty five
You got the Bucks at minus one seventy to make the playoffs
I just think they're gonna win nine games
Giants at plus five hundred to make the playoffs
the Chiefs to make the playoffs at minus three eighty
