New England Patriots fans may already be uneasy after Drake revealed a $1 million bet on their Super Bowl hopes.
The hip hop star publicly backing the Patriots to win Super Bowl LX has reignited talk of the so-called Drake Curse.
For a franchise already facing long odds, the timing has only added another layer of superstition.
Drake places $1 million bet on New England Patriots
Drake announced on Instagram that he has wagered $1 million on the New England Patriots to win Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks.
The bet is one of the largest public wagers on the game and would return more than $2 million if New England pull off an upset.
The rapper paired the bet slip with a confident message, daring others to bet against him.
While the post drew immediate attention, it also revived a familiar narrative that has followed Drake’s sports betting history.
Patriots fans brace for familiar Drake Curse narrative
The Drake Curse has become shorthand for teams struggling shortly after receiving the rapper’s public support.
Fans across multiple sports have pointed to high-profile losses involving teams Drake has backed as evidence of bad luck rather than coincidence.
New England now find themselves added to that list, with some supporters fearing the superstition could loom over Super Bowl LX.
Others have dismissed the idea entirely, noting that betting outcomes have no bearing on performance.
Still, the combination of a massive wager and the Patriots’ underdog status has ensured the storyline will follow them until kickoff.
Whether superstition or coincidence, Drake’s $1 million bet has already become part of the Super Bowl conversation surrounding New England.
