    Chiefs go 8-0
    Then they are placed on the cover of Sports Illustrated saying they are perfect
    The very next week they lose falling to 8-1

    Is the Jinx for real?

    After all the times its worked, do you even have to ask?

    Hell... even SI admits there is a jinx (most recently, referecencing how they put the Cubs and Red Sox on separate covers right before the LCS').

    Of course, it could also be a probability thing... where SI normally shows a team or player coming off an extreme high... where there probably isn't anywhere else for that team to go but down.

    SI addressed this in last week's "Covers anniversary" issue.
