Sports Illustrated cover and jinx?

After the outcome of yesterday's KU vs. ORU game, would you say the jinx is real, or is it way too early in the season to worry about such things? My son and I are having a debate.

    some say that its a jinx but it really is only when teams or players dont live up to the hype and didnt actually need to be on the cover. peyton manning stood up to it in 03 when he threw 49 tds and was on the cover midseason but ray lewis got injured after last weeks cover so really it is just a lot of coincidences. jj reddick was never on a cover last year and he didnt win it all.

    properly I dont beleive in Jinx's particularly yet i be conscious of the madden "curse" particularly does oftentimes finally end up happening, and Ive under no circumstances heard of the activities Illustrated Curse so....Im going to declare Madden, plus those adult men oftentimes finally end up getting injured that's undesirable.
