takes graded
16,762 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.
Los Angeles Rams to beat Niners
Next up, Niners Rams. This is next Thursday in Australia... I'm going with the Rams here. Favorite by three and a half
Tennessee Titans to beat Jets
Sala gets revenge and Titans beat my Jets... I'll take the Titans.
Houston Texans to beat Bills
Then the real good game, Bill's Texans... I've got the Texans winning this game.
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
a 14-play, 93-yard drive led by incoming starter Malik Willis in Week 1 of the preseason
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
Watson "won" the job, but he hardly looked the part of an NFL starter... Despite all that, he'll be the guy in Week 1
Los Angeles Rams to beat San Francisco 49ers
Richard, who do you think has the advantage going into this game? The Rams... The Rams, Mitchell. The Rams.
Buffalo Bills to beat Detroit Lions
I have a hard time believing Buffalo is going to lose the first game in their brand new stadium ... So I think that's the one they're going to have a hard time winning. I got them 3-1.
Skyler Thomas to be cut
That said, and even though he made the Bears' initial 53-man roster, Thomas may yet be released ahead of the Bears' Week 1 season opener against the Carolina Panthers, and not for no reason.
Dillon Bell to land on the practice squad
But while Bell impressed, a deep room makes him expendable, and the Vikings will likely try to sneak him down to the practice squad like Brosmer.
Max Brosmer to be cut
Meanwhile, the Vikings opted to waive Brosmer, paving the way for a likely practice squad reunion.
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
The Browns chose Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders as their starting quarterback ... If Watson starts Week 1 as expected
Los Angeles Rams to beat forty niners
how they could lose to the forty niners, but, you know, they don't have the best vibes going right now, so I'd be surprised
Reddy Steward to land on the practice squad
Reddy Steward, CB ... he would be a viable emergency option and should be retained.
Justin Barron to land on the practice squad

Jalen McLeod to land on the practice squad
LB Jack Kiser; LB Jalen McLeod ... McLeod doesn't have much NFL film to go off of.
Jack Kiser to land on the practice squad
LB Jack Kiser; LB Jalen McLeod ... It feels unlikely each gets claimed, though.
J.J. McCarthy to make the roster
The second-year quarterback from Michigan is expected to make the Vikings' final 53-man roster, as first reported by ESPN.
Will Levis to move — “claimed on waivers”
Tennessee cut Will Levis loose, and he'll almost certainly be claimed on waivers, but the teams that miss out on him and others they can get for free might give up a future draft pick to add a QB4
Daylen Everette to make the roster
Daylen Everette, a third-round rookie out of Georgia, will round out the room heading into the regular season.
Los Angeles Rams to beat Niners
They're going to beat them by 20 points. They're going to beat the Niners by 20 points.
