Recording Perna's Curse Wheel Results

Month: September 2026

  • Week 3, 2026

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Spin Again
    • Las Vegas Raiders (#10)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • NO; the Raiders defeated the New Orleans Saints 35-27.

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • (deep breath) “The Raiders were cursed AND beat the curse” is a sentence that has never been uttered by humanity, until now.
    • Like with previous weeks, the cursed teams actually were in a pretty piss poor position and were poised to lose. After halfway in the 3rd quarter, the Saints managed to score back-to-back touchdowns due to a Raiders kickoff fumble, pushing their lead up to 27-16 and giving the Raiders a 11.2% chance of winning.
    • However, in the fourth quarter the Saints suffered FOUR turnovers in each their possessions; a fumble and interception brought the Raiders up to 35-27, with two further fumbles sealing the deal.
    • I dunno about you, but I think someone switched the Curse Wheel to be the “Bless Wheel” this season… or maybe the “Spin Again” option inverts the Curse Wheel’s powers??

    Current Curse Win Percentage: 0.250 (1/4 teams cursed)

  • Week 2, 2026

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Kansas City Chiefs (#666)
    • Jacksonville Jaguars (#4)
    • Philadelphia Eagles (#10; after attempting to dislodge the wheel)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • NO; the Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts 33-30.
    • YES; the Jaguars lost to the Denver Broncos 13-20.
    • NO; the Eagles defeated the Tennessee Titans 24-20.

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Chiefs won, but BOY was it close! Looks like the Colts are STILL catching strays.
    • The Jaguars had a 90.3% chance of winning in the 3rd Quarter (when it was 13-3), only to completely collapse in the 4th Quarter after the Broncos scored 14 unanswered points.
    • The Eagles actually had a pretty good chance of losing against the TENNESSEE TITANS in the 4th Quarter, who had a 78.4% chance to win when they were up 20-17 on the Eagles with less than 2 minutes left on the clock. But the Eagles managed to come back and score a touchdown in the literal last seconds. Almost got ’em!
      • Perna doesn’t count this one, unless he changes his mind later.

    Current Curse Win Percentage: 0.333 (1/3 teams cursed)

  • Week 1, 2026

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Baltimore Ravens (#11)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • NO; the Ravens defeated the Baltimore Colts 41-23.

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Ravens won handedly; by the middle of the Second Quarter, it was pretty much a lock for the Ravens.
      • I guess if you want to be OOOOH SPOOPY about things, the Colts probably was catching strays from the Curse Wheel once again.
    • However, even tho the Ravens won, it wasn’t without cost:
      • T.J. Tampa Jr. left in the first quarter with a knee injury
      • Zay Flowers missed the second half due to a hamstring injury (probably the most serious effect of the curse)
      • Ja’Kobi Lane exited with a wrist injury
      • Marlon Humphrey also had to leave temporarily with an apparent leg injury
      • That said, I currently don’t consider these as a successful curse. I could be convinced otherwise, however.

    Current Curse Win Percentage: 0.000

    New Season! New Curses! This year I’ll keep better track of the Curse Wheel’s design just so make sure double entries aren’t miscounted.

    If this is your first time here, I’ll be posting season-long stats in this sticky. But for now, this is what I got:

    Slot Spun Result

    This season I’ll track which slot appears more often, especially since there are some repeats and special slots which may change over the season. (“X” = “Custom”)

    110010011011010001

    The “X” slot means:

    • Week 1-5: “Spin Again”
    • Week 6-7: “Dodgers”
