takes graded
16,589 awaiting a result
2,693 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 (492) and depth chart calls (198) — the kinds where missing by a little costs a little, not everything.
Denver Broncos to beat Kansas City Chiefs
Denver Broncos (+2.5) at Kansas City Chiefs ... However, I expect their defense to quickly remind folks of its dominance as we wrap up Week 1 on Monday night.
Carolina Panthers to beat Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears at Carolina Panthers (+3) ... If those issues rear their head, that's how Carolina pulls off the upset.

J.J. McCarthy to move to Minnesota Vikings
He still has two years on his rookie contract, but you'd think he's either traded for a late-round pick or cut at some point unless Murray struggles so much that McCarthy gets another shot in Minnesota.
