takes graded
16,307 awaiting a result
2,678 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 (475) and depth chart calls (198) — the kinds where missing by a little costs a little, not everything.
Jonah Coleman to make the roster
But once Coleman heals up and his four weeks have passed, the Broncos will have to waive someone to make room for him on the 53-man roster. And they're going to need him.
Cincinnati Bengals to beat Pittsburgh
So Pittsburgh loses this thing... to me, the only way I see Cincinnati not winning this game is like it's going to have to be one of those banana Steelers defense do crazy shit.
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Miami
the Chiefs now, Monday night football, Sunday night football, getting up for road game against, I'm pretty sure, the least talented team in the league. If they try, that's a massacre.
Seattle Seahawks to beat Washington
Seattle, Washington, Chiefs, Miami... if Seattle maintains the same edge that they had on defense against the Patriots... Mariota doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell... those got blowout written all over them
Tennessee Titans to beat New York Giants
If Jameis is taking snaps, I gotta take the Titans... I like the Titans.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21 — Vikings 18
I was going to go like 21, 18, and I'm also going to take the Buccaneers here.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21 — Vikings 20
So I'll take the wounded, desperate Buccaneers here, 21, 20, and I'll go with Bucky Irving as player of the game.
Cincinnati Bengals 20 — Steelers 17
While those things could happen, I'm taking the Bengals in a close, defensive game. Score: Bengals 20, Steelers 17
Kansas City Chiefs 34 — Dolphins 9
Final Prediction: Chiefs 34, Dolphins 9
Kansas City Chiefs 31 — Dolphins 10
The Chiefs, by the exact same score, they beat Denver. Chiefs, 31. Dolphins, 10.
New Orleans Saints 21 — Raiders 20
I'm going to pick New Orleans to win this game. New Orleans 21, Raiders 20.
Seattle Seahawks 31 — Washington 10
Seahawks... 31, Washington 10 is my pick here.
Baltimore Ravens 24 — Dallas 21
I think my actual pick for the game is going to be like 24, 21 Baltimore
Jacksonville Jaguars 24 — New England 17
Jacksonville, 24. New England, 17.
Cincinnati Bengals to beat Steelers
They finna get this work... Who they think they gonna beat these Bengals?
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Dolphins
I think it's just gonna be a route. It's gonna be like that. What we saw last week with San Francisco.
Denver Broncos to beat Rams
Broncos over Rams. Like it. Straight up... So for that reason, I am saying Broncos straight up over Rams as my first pick.
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Dolphins
But am I guaranteeing a start to finish, never in doubt Chiefs' dominant performance? I am... So, yeah, I think the Chiefs win in dominant fashion.
New York Jets to beat Lions
You know who doesn't have a good defense? The Detroit Lions... You just have the jets beating the lions. Straight up.
Dallas Cowboys to beat Ravens
If this game is close, I trust the cowboys to close out this game a little bit better on this weird turf... but I'll trust the Cowboys here
New England Patriots to beat Jags
The Patriots beat the Jags. Let's go. That's a guarantee
Buffalo Bills to beat chargers
But you're asking me a lot from a team that has a lot of mistakes and a lot of things to fix... so, you know, I would not hold my breath if you're a big charges fan holding that they can win in this game.
Cincinnati Bengals to beat Steelers
So if if the voodoo is gone completely, it might have been more chips, but I'll keep two right now on the Bengals.
Baltimore Ravens to beat cowboys
I will take Baltimore over the cowboys.
Cincinnati Bengals to beat Steelers
I'm going eight chips. Eight. Big bet on the Cincinnati Bengals... So I expect this to be a the first statement game of the year for the Bengals.
