Browns Playoff Odds Report: 78.8%

Posted by disappointmentzone on 28 November 2007

Quick show of hands: How many Browns fans were eagerly awaiting a Dolphins touchdown Monday night against the Steelers? I know I was. Thanks to the rain and new sod seven points would’ve saved the fins from the embarrassment of a 0-16 season while serving the Steelers their second consecutive loss to a crap team. It would have also put the Browns in great position to nab the AFC North title from the Steelers, which is what I was hoping for more than anything. Sadly, none of that happened.

Instead Browns fans will have to settle for being 78.8% certain that the Browns will be in the playoffs this season. This sets a new season high, up from 56.9% last week. And while at the beginning of the season it would’ve been impossible to believe, the Browns are now expected to win 10 games. That’s like one for each finger! This number should climb to around 11 if the Browns beat those pesky Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, at which point roughly 50% of Browns Nation will have to resort to toes to count that extra win.

And that, dear readers, is probably as close to TV-M as this blog will ever get.
