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.
Philadelphia Eagles to beat Tennessee
This is a game where the Eagles should win by like 20 points and just smother them. And definitely defensively with Fangio, this could get really, really ugly for Cam Ward.
Carolina Panthers to beat Atlanta
I expect Carolina to win. I'm laying less than a field goal.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Denver
The Jags are going to win this game outright. And I get two and a half points.
Philadelphia Eagles to beat Tennessee Titans
This is a game the Eagles are expected to win, an opportunity to get to 2-0 before the tough part of the first quarter of the season begins.
San Francisco 49ers 27 — Dolphins 17
Final Prediction: 49ers, 27, Dolphins 17
Jacksonville Jaguars 24 — Broncos 17
Pick: Jaguars 24, Broncos 17
Philadelphia Eagles to beat Titans
helping the Eagles pick up their first win in Tenneesse after dropping their first three meetings between the two teams since the Titans became an NFL team
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Colts
ESPN Matchup Predictor Chances at Victory: Chiefs 75.0%, Colts 24.8%. ... However, this feels like a pretty fair assessment from the matchup predictor.
San Francisco 49ers to beat Dolphins
Black will likely see a similar workload in Week 2 as I expect the 49ers to blow out the Dolphins, which means Black will get plenty of garbage time usage.
New York Giants to beat Rams
The narrative is that the Giants have to bring their A-game. What happens if the Rams don't bring theirs? — The Giants will win.
Houston Texans to beat Cincinnati
All right, Bengals at the Texans on Sunday. I would not want to be Cincinnati, though I like them... The Texans' defense for the first time in, I don't remember, was kind of embarrassed. They'll be in a terrible, terrible mood. I think they'll take it out on Cincinnati.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Denver
The Jags are going to win this game outright. And I get two and a half points.
Carolina Panthers to beat Atlanta
I expect Carolina to win. I'm laying less than a field goal.
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Indy
I would be very, very surprised if the Chiefs lose.
Denver Broncos to beat Jacksonville Jaguars
So I'm gonna take two chips and I'm gonna put it on the Denver Broncos... but I believe in the Broncos.
Chicago Bears to beat Vikings
I'm gonna say, I think the Bears will win. I think Caleb will be fine.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Broncos
The Jags are better. They went to Denver last year and curb stomped them... They're gonna win outright.
Houston Texans to beat Bengals
Sorry, Cincinnati, but give me the Texans.
New York Giants to beat Rams
Are you flirting with an outright win for your Giants? Absolutely... I'll pick it. Yes. I'll pick it.
Arizona Cardinals to beat Seahawks
I'm going over to Arizona. I I believe in this team... I don't think the cardinals are gonna allow too much more.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Broncos
I'm gonna put four chips on the Jacksonville Jaguars... I think Jacksonville gets this game out right.
Houston Texans to beat Bengals
I got four chips on I like the Bengals, but I'm going with the Texans.
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Colts
I agree with you guys because I think they can ride Kenneth Walker to victory against the Colts.
Chicago Bears to beat Vikings
We're putting 12 chips down on the Bears.
Chicago Bears to beat Vikings
I'm a put two chips. I'm not gonna get too excited and put more than two chips on the Bears, but I got two chips on the Bears.
