I'm such a jinx

Two years in a row...I place a Super Bowl winning bet for the NY Jets before the season. Then I holster it for a while. The Jets start out well, 8-3 last year, 3-0 this year, until I get all excited and remember the bet ticket. I pull out the ticket, and then what happens? The Jets lose lose lose. 8-3 -> 9-7 after I looked. 3-0 -> 3-3 after I looked. Ugh! What a prime example of some skewed version of overconfidence.
