Welcome to Bizarro Bowl

Welcome to Bizarro Bowl where we're dedicated to finding the worst team in the NFL this season in a playoff bracket similar to the current NFL playoffs, but with a twist. Here the team that loses advances. The first question you might ask yourself is: "The Detroit Lions were an unprecedented 0 and 16. Surely, aren't they the worst in the NFL this season and most likely of all time?" Excellent point, yes, but the Patriots went 16 and 0 last season and we all know how well that worked out for them. And the Detroit Lions need to suffer more. The second question you might ask yourself is: "Why the Bizarro Bowl? Why not the Toilet Bowl, the Shit Bowl or the Morning After Drinking and a 3 AM Burrito Diarrhea Bowl?" I was going to call it the "Fail Bowl," but that sounded a little to interwebz-y for my tastes. So I thought this is the opposite of the Super Bowl and since we all know that Bizarro is the opposite of Superman, I went with the Bizarro Bowl (and I think it sounds cool.) The last question you might ask yourself is: "How does the Bizarro Bowl work?" The Bizarro Bowl playoffs work almost exactly like the NFL playoffs, but in reverse. Each division loser is given a spot along with two wild-cards from each conference with the worst record. Tie-breakers are the reverse of the NFL tiebreakers found here. Seeding is done with division losers seeded 1 through 4 and the two wild-card teams 5 and 6. Unlike with the NFL, teams with the lower seed get home field advantage. Games will simulated using Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES with Drummer4God's patch with each teams' updated 2008 roster found here. I will record the movies and upload them to YouTube. For the Wild Card round, I plan on doing one game per day starting on Saturday and the same for the Divisional Round. For the Conference Championship weekend, I'll post one game Saturday and one Sunday. The Bizarro Bowl will be played on Super Bowl Sunday. Without further ado, here are the seeds and the first weekend's schedule:

AFC:
1. Kansas City (2-14)
2. Cleveland (4-12)
3. Jacksonville (5-11)
4. Buffalo (7-9)
5. Cincinnati (4-11-1)
6. Oakland (5-11)

NFC:
1. Detroit Lions (0-16)
2. St. Louis (2-14)
3. New Orleans (8-8)
4. Washington (8-8)
5. Seattle (4-12)
6. Green Bay (6-10)

Saturday: Jacksonville @ Oakland

Enjoy the games!
