Charles Barkley Could Change Fate of Super Bowl Using Curse For Good, As Per TNT Host

Is it time for Charles Barkley to use his special black magic skills already? If you were wondering what black magic, let me answer that. The Philadelphia 76ers legend has a secret power. And it is probably not the right one, but it is funny. As some have noted, whichever team he bets on, ends up losing. There is a history of accidents that hint at how Barkley made incorrect predictions not only in the NBA but in the NFL as well. And one of the TNT hosts is well aware of Chuck’s powers. With the Super Bowl close on the heels, he urged Chuck to use it for the greater good! 

The Super Bowl has clearly split the population between the Chiefs, who are up against the Eagles. Who will win this time? Speaking about the Big Game on The Steam Room podcast, Chuck detailed his historic streak of losing bets against Patrick Mahomes. He lost a bet when he thought the Buffalo Bills would win against Kansas City. He made another incorrect bet on the Baltimore Ravens and lost the bet again on the San Francisco 49ers. 

“The litany of Chuck’s losses will continue after this,” Ernie Johnson added. And now, Chuck said, “Pat Mahomes, I’m taking my Eagles against you too. Let’s get that out the way.” Raised in Philly, TNT host Adam Lefkoe, who is likely supporting the Eagles, urged Barkley to lose his bet again for the Eagles. “No you need to lose for the good of the city,” Lefkoe added.

After beating the Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs have advanced to the SuperBowl for the third consecutive time. The Eagles didn’t survive the battle the last time they faced the Mahomes and Co. Do you think Barkley’s curse power in betting will work this time? Well, considering Chuck’s history, there’s some hope. 

How bad is Charles Barkley’s curse?

Whether it’s a curse or Barkley’s words making an impact, the reason is unknown. One baffling instance was when the 76ers legend made a prediction for the Bulls on TNT. Back in 2021, Barkley claimed that the Bulls were one of the “worst” teams. The team had a 0-3 record to start the season.

The franchise made no official response to Chuck’s comment. However, Chuck’s words seemed to have made an impact on the team. The Bulls quickly racked up a 4-4 record. Led by Zach LaVine, the team soon picked up speed.

If this doesn’t convince you, there are more such instances. He had bet $100K on the Portland Trail Blazers to win. However, the Blazers ended up losing to both the Bulls and the Warriors. The stakes are certainly high and it might be better to bet while keeping Barkley’s choice in mind.
