As Wacko pointed out in the previous post, the Brownies, despite their perennial basement performances, have never won the Moldy Carpet, and the last time they had a clear shot--2004--at it they were unable to get a final loss in the final week of the season, and so the NFC bottom went to the Whiners. Now flash forward to 2015 and here we are again with the final week of the season and probably the only thing that stands between the Brownies and the Doormat Bowl and Moldy Carpet glory are, you guessed it, the Whiners. Yes, the Doormat Bowl most likely will be between these two storied losers.
So this week--despite there being at least 10 games with legitimate doormat flavor--the Oracle will only predict the doormat games that actually count.
AFC
Pittsburgh: 36
Cleveland: 13
Tennessee: 17
Indianapolis: 16
San Diego: 28
Denver: 30
Yes, the Oracle is picking the Dolts again. So far this year, the Oracle has got every Dolts game wrong, so look for the Titanics to lose. If they do, and Brownies lose to PittBowlBurg they are tied at 3-13 and Cleveland beat Tennesee back in Sept. so the AFC will go to Mariotta and the Titanics. Let's pray Tennessee wins in Indy!
NFC
Dallas: 12
Washington: 24
San Francisco: 7
St. Louis: 10
It's possible Dallas could tie with SF if the Whiners find a way to beat the Lambs, and they did not play head to head, so it goes to points differential and that will still give the NFC basement crown to the Whiners.
So this Oracle is predicting a fantastic Doormat Bowl between Cleveland and San Francisco with the heavy favorite being the Whiners.
Enjoy Week 17 doormat denizens!
wow that old program cover is stupendous!!
ReplyDeletepre-1950’s football must have been a he-man sport. I mean he-man in a sense that the fans were all he-man-like. doubt that any women at all ever watched pro football pre-1950. (not counting the players wives) And the Browns were the greatest team in all of football !! go figure.
