Super Bowl LIII
Winner: Cleveland Browns

Why they’re on this list: Because all suffering must end at some point, and we can’t shoot them.

Have you recovered yet? Need some water or a paper bag?

Yes, the Browns. A team who has never been to a Super Bowl will win it in their first try. It won’t be pretty. Cleveland will back into the playoffs as a wild card team, possibly even with an 8-8 record, but will get hot at just the right time and face an Indianapolis team who still can’t figure out how to protect Andrew Luck.

Josh Gordon will be watching from home.

They’ll win a defensive squeaker over the Arizona Cardinals and then will fade into the sunset…kind of like Kid Lester.
