It looks like popular rapper Drake has decided this year’s Super Bowl winner between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. 

He took to Instagram and shared a screenshot of himself putting $1 million on line for Drake Maye and company. His caption displayed a different level of confidence, as he said, “Bet against me if you dare.” 

Drake’s history of backing the losing side has made his predictions infamous. His just supporting New England has only made the Seahawks fans happier.

Talking about the high-stakes matchup, the Patriots fired head coach Jerod Mayo after failing to qualify last season with a 3-14 record. They have had an incredible turnaround this season under a new head coach, Mike Vrabel. New England went 14-3 and topped the AFC East.

However, coming into Super Bowl LX, they face the Seattle side, which has been one of the most balanced teams this season. They secured NFC’s no. 1 seed after going 14-3 and topping the NFC West division. Adding to that, Drake’s pre-game prediction has installed a new level of confidence in the Seahawks’ fans.

The reason behind the Seattle fans' celebration is that Drake’s poor track record of the teams and athletes he backs often ends up losing. One of those cases was of the Tennis legend Serena Williams, who lost the 2015 U.S.Open after Drake was spotted cheering her on. 

Another example takes us seven years ago. Conor McGregor lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov after Drake walked out with the former during the UFC 229 weigh-in. While nobody knows how the Patriots fans feel about it, the Seahawks fans are already celebrating their “almost - sealed” Super Bowl win since 2014.

Seahawks Fans are Ecstatic After Drake's Gamble

As expected, the Seattle fans are seeing Drake's support to Patriots as a curse. It's why one fan said, "Congrats to the Seahawks."

Popular actor Mark Wahlberg, who is a Patriots fan through and through, didn't believe in the "Drake curse," as he said, "SMART MAN."

Things got quite complicated when one of Drake's fans, who was a Seahawks fan, prayed for his prediction to go wrong. "I literally pray for your success in all things except for this. Go Hawks," she said.

Despite the Patriots' incredible performance this season, one fan didn't see any point in them even playing the Super Bowl anymore. "Bro already lost the fight before the battle starts," he said.

In the swarm of happy Seattle fans, one Patriots fan displayed trust in his team and said, "Drake. We breaking the curse. Patriots taking this home."

What do you think? Did Drake's infamous prediction spoil Super Bowl LX's result before it even started? Let us know in the comments!
