Over the past two weeks, plenty of voices in the NFL world have made their picks clear for Super Bowl LX, and for the most part, their money is all in on the Seattle Seahawks walking out of Santa Clara with the Lombardi Trophy at the New England Patriots' expense.
The latest tabulation of analysts' picks shows 90% betting on the NFC West Champions, and nearly all overlooking what Mike Vrabel's crew can do under the brightest of lights. Although their takes have become borderline disrespectful, history shows they thrive as underdogs, and that will have to be the case on Sunday.
But now the Patriots have run into a snag: one of the most infamous celebrity bettors has entered the chat, betting they will beat the Seahawks on Sunday. Unfortunately, it couldn't be a worse person to support them, as his record is not good.
In fact, he has earned a reputation as a curse, so the Patriots have even more working against them.
Drake shares his latest bet on the Patriots to win the Super Bowl this year
Rapper and singer Drake has consistently made a name for himself in various professional sports since becoming famous, most notably for Toronto sports teams.
However, he has also placed public bets on other teams in big games, with the Patriots being the latest team he believes will win.
The problem is that he has a terrible track record, earning the moniker of the "Drake curse," so this is the last person Patriots fans will want to hear has expressed confidence in their team to win it all.

While it's great to see at least one public figure with no ties to the Patriots publicly support their chances of winning, it's not great to hear it from someone known for losing more bets than winning them.
Of course, believing in the curse is superstitious, but it's hard not to when it comes to sports, since even athletes have traditions and rituals they perform before games.
This becomes just the latest hurdle that the Patriots will have to overcome on Sunday, whether the curse is legitimate or not. Hopefully, they can do it and bring home their 7th Lombardi Trophy.
