Against the grain

Teams and players where Sports Illustrated’s writers keep landing outside the room: at least twice, a call published under this banner sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is the banner’s standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle. Computed, never chosen.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. to make the roster
Given Tyrone Tracy’s rough couple of weeks, some anticipate that he’s going to be the odd man out ... Cutting him after a bad couple of games would be shortsighted.

I could see the Giants initially keeping Evan Neal, who was fantastic as a run blocker, and then seeing if they can trade him once the dust settles.
