takes graded
16,345 awaiting a result
2,691 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 (2,017), score predictions (490) and depth chart calls (198) — the kinds where missing by a little costs a little, not everything.
Los Angeles Rams to beat Giants
But I'm going to lean on the preseason priors for a little while longer and take L.A. to win.
Los Angeles Rams 17 — Giants 16
Pick (if Nacua sits): Rams 17, Giants 16
Johnny Hekker to move to Minnesota Vikings
Now we're entering the last week of September, and there's a decent chance that the Bothwell, WA native could make his way back to Minnesota. He's still an unsigned free agent... don't be surprised if the franchise isn't finished with Hekker just yet.
Andre Jones Jr. to make the roster
nobody can blame Jones for leaving for the Dolphins, where he'll have a spot on the 53-man roster and a chance for a role that he doesn't have in Buffalo
Los Angeles Rams to beat Giants
Then I would say Giants covering, right, they would lose by less than a touchdown? Yes. Yeah. I'd say that. But I still think the Rams found a way to win the game.
Kelvin Banks Jr. to make the roster
there are a trio of tackles on the Saints practice squad that could be moved up should Banks be placed on injured reserve (which we are expecting to happen)
Los Angeles Rams 30 — Giants 14
Prisco's pick: Rams 30-14 over Giants
Los Angeles Rams 30 — Giants 21
Tyler Sullivan's pick: Rams 30-21 over Giants
Los Angeles Rams 27 — Giants 17
Jared Dubin's pick: Rams 27-17 over Giants

Los Angeles Rams 27 — Giants 24
John Breech's pick: Rams 27-24 over Giants
Jonah Coleman to be 1st on the depth chart
it's very possible Coleman will be Denver's lead back when the Broncos host the Rams in Week 3

Buffalo Bills to beat Chargers
Their next two games? At the Bills and at the Seahawks, where they'll do really well to avoid being 0-4 when they host the Broncos in Week 5.
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Miami Dolphins
The Chiefs come to town in Week 3, and it shouldn't look much different from this week.
Tyler Loop to make the roster
This week, with limited practice time and a long flight and Jake Moody no longer on the practice squad means nothing will happen, but if you think the kicker issue is resolved you much only be watching this kid kick in a dome.
Seattle Seahawks to beat Arizona Cardinals
History Favors the Seahawks... There is no reason to think that head coach Mike Macdonald won't have his team fully ready by the time the game starts... This could be a matchup that the Seahawks could easily exploit. Confidence Meter: 7 (Week 2 at Arizona)
Carolina Panthers to beat Falcons
ESPN's trio of prognosticators Seth Walder, Eric Moody, and Pamela Maldonado are unanimous in picking the Panthers in Atlanta.
Carolina Panthers 24 — Falcons 13
the Falcons are likely going to be 0-Cooper Rush starts, with this week making it 0-2. Panthers 24, Falcons 13

Carolina Panthers to beat Falcons
ESPN's trio of prognosticators Seth Walder, Eric Moody, and Pamela Maldonado are unanimous in picking the Panthers in Atlanta.
Carolina Panthers 23 — Falcons 20
It will be a tough one, but it feels gettable, and the Falcons really need it. Panthers 23, Falcons 20
Carolina Panthers 27 — Falcons 16
I think the Falcons defense keeps things close for a while, but the Panthers pull away. Panthers 27, Falcons 16.
Chicago Bears 30 — Vikings 19
Verdict Bears: 30 Vikings: 19
San Francisco 49ers to beat Dolphins
The Niners play the Dolphins... But Niners should murder them.
