Recording Perna's Curse Wheel Results

Category: Slot 1

  • Week 12, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Denver Broncos (#1)
    • Carolina Panthers (#13)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • INCONCLUSIVE; the Broncos were on a Bye week this week.
    • YES; the Panthers lost to the San Francisco 49ers 9-20

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Panthers picked off Brock Purdy THREE TIMES but only scored a field goal off the third pick.
    • The Panthers’ drive after their first pick ended with Bryce Young getting intercepted as well.
    • After the Panthers’ only touchdown and successfully kicking the extra point, a penalty was called against 49er Jordan Elliott for Unnecessary Roughness. This brought them up to the 1-yard line, allowing for the Panthers to go for a two-point conversion instead… only to fail that.
    • Meanwhile the Broncos had a Bye week this week, so it remains to be seen if the Broncos dodged a bullet or if the Curse Wheel will get its pound of flesh in the end.

  • Week 9, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Indianapolis Colts (#1)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Colts lost to the Pittsburg Steelers 20-27

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Colts had SIX turnovers this game.
    • They also lost to the Steelers, who lost to the Packers last week, who in turn lost to the Panthers this week. By transitive property it means now the Colts are worse than the Panthers. It’s math, look it up.
    • This is actually the second time the Colts have been cursed; the first was in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, and they lost both those games. The final scores for both was also 20-27. If you don’t believe in the powers of the Curse Wheel, the Colts have otherwise won every other game they played. They’re currently 7-2; they might have been the only undefeated team if not for the Curse Wheel.
