Do you believe in the SI cover jinx?...
Just received my weekly Sports Illustrated and guess who was sitting on the cover? Mr. Belichick in a Santa Claus suit with the headline, "Perfect Season's GREETINGS" I am a Giant fan, so if the jinx was ever going to work, let it be this week. Probably the only chance the Giants have! LOL

saw a study once, and people explained the SI jinx could be real because they usually put you on the cover when you are really doing well, and the law of averages will start coming into play.

That's just stupid superstition.

Unlike the Madden cover jinx; which is true.

The pats were on it like 3 times during reg season and they STILL HAVENT LOST!
manning was on it before super bowl last year, he WON!
