Browns' chances of winning at least one game is higher than you think
Will the Browns join the 2008 Lions and go 0-16?
There's a decent chance the Browns end the 2016 season as they began it -- with zero wins. They're currently 0-13 with games remaining in Buffalo, at home against the Chargers and in Pittsburgh. Our SportsLine colleague Stephen Oh ran the numbers and, well, it's not great, Bob.
The chance the Browns ...
- Win 3 games: 1 percent
- Win 2 games: 11 percent
- Win 1 game: 44 percent
- Win 0 games: 44 percent
Silver lining: The chance the Browns win at least one game is 56 percent, which is about the least depressing thing we can say about the season.
In terms of probabilities associated with the remaining games, the Browns' best opportunity comes in Week 16 against the Chargers. (Oh notes that the underdog amount is based on simulations and not necessarily the Las Vegas line.)
- 18 percent chance of winning at Buffalo (13-point underdogs)
- 36 percent chance of winning at home vs. San Diego (5-point underdogs)
- 13 percent chance of winning at Pittsburgh (16-point underdogs)
Meanwhile, if you want to witness the Browns' historic-for-the-wrong-reasons run in person, your best best might be this Sunday in Buffalo. Tickets on the secondary market are going for the low, low price of ... $7. That's right, for the price of a couple cups of coffee you can sit in freezing conditions and watch two teams going nowhere go ... nowhere.
