LeBron James keeps his fans entertained with his NFL predictions. But it does not seem to bode well in some quarters who are afraid that it will be counterproductive. In today’s NFL game between Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins, LeBron has picked a winner. But the reaction that he is getting is reminiscent of the LeJinx.
LeBron got trolled earlier when his pick Washington Commanders got decimated in the hands of the Chicago Bears. Will the curse return to haunt this Eagles vs Dolphins game, too?

As of now, the Eagles are leading with a 17-10 score against the Dolphins during the halftime. Let’s hope it has allayed the Philadelphia fans’ fears to some extent.
What is LeJinx?
It is a fan theory that began with a trend in the NBA when the teams that LeBron chooses or praises, seem to have had a negative effect. In an NBA playoff game between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies, the Minnesota team was leading by a 26-point margin which went kaput after LeBron’s support. This was just the beginning, and the legend kept on growing. Though there are many games when LeBron’s picks had done phenomenally well, fans are sticking with their LeJinx. See their reactions below.
Your king bout to jinx your team lol @QuintonOverTime
