Recording Perna's Curse Wheel Results

Month: October 2026

  • Week 6, 2026

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Atlanta Falcons (#14)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Falcons lost to the Chicago Bears 31-23.

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • Even though the Falcons did ultimately lose, it was actually kinda close at the end there. The Falcons managed to score 16 points in the last 10 minutes of the 4th Quarter… but it didn’t help them in the end.
    • Maybe the most embarrassing play of the game was the muffed punt catch by Falcons WR Zachariah Branch, putting the Bears at the Falcons 10 yard line, which they then easily sneezed it in. And hey, looks like the Bears managed to win by one score. What a coincidence!
    • Another fumble happened with 1:48 left in the 3rd Quarter when the Bears kicked off to the Falcons, which was recieved by Branch again, and OOPS good ol’ butterfingers fumbled again! It was recovered by the Bears who ultimately turned that into a Field Goal.
    • But hey, despite causing the Bears to add 10 to their score, the Falcons did manage to claw their way back into a one score game. Now the Falcons got the ball, there’s over 3 minutes left in the 4th Quarter, plenty of time to march down the field to try to tie it up. It’s 3rd and 16, and… Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. gets sacked and fumbles. Bears recover the ball, end of game.

    Current Curse Win Percentage: 0.286 (2/7 teams cursed)

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Baltimore Ravens (#9)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • NO; the Ravens defeated the Atlanta Falcons 30-23.

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The now-reformed Bless Wheel has now officially blessed yet another victim. This has been the second time the Bless Wheel has Blessed the Baltimore Ravens.
    • Jokes aside, there was actually a legitimate chance that the Curse would’ve finally been successful for once. The game basically starts with a Ravens fumble and the Falcons bringing it in for a Touchdown. Capping things off, the Falcons were up on the Ravens 23-15 after having just gotten a field goal with 2:25 left in the 4th Quarter. At best, this placed the Falcons at a 97.6% chance of victory, while the Ravens had never led during regulation.
    • Once the Ravens got the ball back, they almost immediately got a touchdown with just 40 seconds left AND successfully got the 2-pt Conversion, tying the game up 23-23.
    • However, after the Falcons got the ball back and with 27 seconds left in the 4th Quarter, Falcons QB Michael Penix, Jr, got sacked hard, causing him to be basically pulled from the game, and the game went into overtime.
    • The Ravens managed to get the ball first and ate up like 7 minutes to get a touchdown, bringing them to their first lead in the entire game: 30-23. With Penix out, the Falcons brought in QB Tua Tagovailoa; Tua started to drive with a great 20 yard pass, only to get intercepted in the next play, sealing the game.
    • As we all know, the Curse Wheel works in mysterious ways. I feel like the mystery this year is that it’s cursing the other teams. To be fair tho, at least the Curse Wheel has a better record than either the Titans or the Chargers.

    Current Curse Win Percentage: 0.167 (1/6 teams cursed)

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • San Francisco 49ers (#1)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • NO; the 49ers defeated the Denver Broncos 24-14.

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • Ok it’s 100% obvious that someone switched the Curse Wheel to be the “Bless Wheel” this season, because basically everyone has beaten it this year. Maybe the NFL has caught on?
    • At best you can say that the Curse kept the game close for the first half, when the 49ers finally tied things up 3-3 with 1:36 left in the 2nd Quarter. And Denver kept it within a one-score game with 2:29 left in the 4th Quarter. But the Niners won in the end, and there was never a time the Broncos has a greater than 50% chance of winning.
    • Sure 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk was injured before the game, but the Broncos lost three players to injuries during the game: CB Pat Surtain II, CB Riley Moss and WR Pat Bryant. So the Broncos was really the cursed team here.

    Current Curse Win Percentage: 0.200 (1/5 teams cursed)
