“We are doomed”: Ravens fans panic as Drake throws $210,000 on Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore

Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens will square off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. While the game between the two AFC North teams has drawn interest from across the county, rapper Drake has made a $210,000 bet on the Ravens to beat the Steelers.

Drake shared a screenshot of his wager online, which showed that he could get a payout of $630,000 if the Ravens win. However, several Baltimore fans expressed their panic at Drake's preferred choice for the wild-card clash, with many pointing out the music icon's supposed "curse" while betting on sports teams.

"We are doomed," one tweeted.

"Lamar stinker otw sadly," wrote another.

"Ok yeah we lost," another Baltimore fan commented as part of a prediction.

There were even more tweets referring to Drake's infamous "curse," with some suggesting that the rapper should have placed a bet on the Steelers to win.

"He just messed it up smh," one tweeted.

"It’s over it’s been fun ravens," a user added.

"He should of picked the Steelers instead," a fan wrote.

The "Drake curse" is widely recognized as a popular belief on social media. It has become a running joke online, where fans blame the rapper for the downfall of several teams and athletes when he dons their jerseys or bets on them.

For Saturday, the Ravens faithful will hope that the "Drake curse" doesn't affect their team.
