The Kansas City Chiefs are up against a lot of superstitions this weekend.
The +1.5 underdogs will have to overcome three major curses against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
The MVP curse
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes won his second NFL MVP award earlier this week. The 27-year-old threw for a league-best 5,250 yards and 41 touchdowns this season.
It’s a fantastic achievement, but the accolade hasn’t had the best track record recently.
The last nine regular-season MVPs to reach the Super Bowl have lost. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were victims of the curse twice. Kurt Warner was the last MVP to win the Big Game in 2000.
