For those of you that are familiar with Tom Grossi, Brandon Perna, or GPS, you are probably familiar with the curse wheel. For those of you that are not, allow me to introduce you to this nightmare.
Basically, Brandon Perna, a YouTube football content creator and Broncos fan, does a semi-serious and mildly cursed power rankings each week. To go along with it, he also spins a curse wheel, selecting one team each week to curse. This stupid thing has a track record that cannot be explained by science, accurately cursing teams on 8 of the 12 weeks so far:
Week 1: 9ers (Miss)
Week 2: Lions (Lost to the Seahawks in OT)
Week 3: Ravens (Lost to the Colts in OT)
Week 4: 9ers (Miss. Possibly immune?)
Week 5: Chargers and Chiefs (Miss)
Week 6: Jags and Colts: (Minshew throws a bunch of picks and the Jags blow them out)
Week 7: Bills (Lose to the horrendous Patriots)
Week 8: Vikings (Lose Kirk Cousins for the season)
Week 9: Seahawks (Get blown out by Baltimore 37-3)
Week 10: Bengals (Lose to the Texans and lose Burrow for the season)
Week 11: Chiefs (Lose to Eagles)
Week 12: Dolphins (Miss. I personally think its because they were playing the Jets who are a cursed franchise)
Week 13: Jags (???)
Why do I bring this to your attention? Because if there are any superstitious Jags fans out there, you need to grab your lucky jersey, lucky underwear, lucky flags, or anything else lucky you have cause we need whatever voodoo we can get to counteract this stupid wheel.
Update: Week 12 wasn’t necessarily a miss because Jalean Phillips tore his Achilles. That would make the wheel 9/12
