Robert Kraft and his New England Patriots have defied the odds to reach Super Bowl 60. However, other than the likes of Kendall Jenner, not many are confident in Drake Maye and his teammates.

The 30-year-old model and socialite appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and was asked who she was picking for Super Bowl 60.

As part of her campaign with Fanatics Sportsbook, if whoever she picks wins, the winnings will go to a charity of her choice. If Fanatics wins, then they will hand over the money of a charity of their choice.

After much deliberation and being confused by a certain Tom Brady, Kendall Jenner decided she would go with her gut and bet on the ‘underdog’ Patriots. This selection came to the attention of Robert Kraft, who then released a response via his team’s social media page.

Kendall, I just heard you put your money on us to win this big game. And you know what? I don’t believe that thing about the ‘Kardashian curse’. We’ve been underdogs plenty of times, and we’ve done OK. Let’s do it together.

Robert Kraft said

The 84-year-old was talking about the ‘Kardashian curse,’ something fans have believed in every time Jenner or one of her Kardashian sisters has dated a professional athlete.

Her introductory commercial with Fanatics was based on this phenomenon. It seems both the model and the billionaire Patriots owner are betting against this ‘curse,’ even though she had moved on to Super Bowl 60 halftime performer Bad Bunny for a while before breaking up.

Tom Brady’s statistics-driven suggestion confused Kendall Jenner

While talking with Jimmy Fallon about her collaboration with Fanatics Sportsbook and how she was going to bet on Super Bowl 60, the host asked Kendall Jenner if she knew who she was going to select.

To this, the Keeping up with the Kardashians star claimed that she did not know much about football and needed help. She FaceTimed Tom Brady, another Fanatics associate, to help her select her winner.

The seven-time Super Bowl winner started talking about defensive schemes and how the Seattle Seahawks had exceptional DVOA stats. He continued to state how the team’s defensive backs group is what has made them an all-time defense, and how they can flip the game.

Throughout this time, Kendall Jenner and Jimmy Fallon kept nodding their heads and agreeing to whatever Tom Brady was saying. But after a while, she bade goodbye to the former Patriots QB and hung up.

When Fallon asked if she understood anything, the model agreed that she had no clue what Brady was talking about. Then, since she did not hear anything about the Patriots, she decided to go with them, as she felt they were the underdog.

When Kendall Jenner FaceTimed Tom Brady, she and Jimmy Fallon did not expect that the FOX Sports analyst would throw a lot of statistics-based analysis in their face.

What?? Nobody has time for an advanced DVOA breakdown these days???… I kept talking for a good 30 seconds before I realized they hung up on me.

Tom Brady wrote on IG

This was the 48-year-old essentially joking about the lack of interest when he blurted out numbers and football jargon at them. Naturally, anyone who has no idea about the sport would not even listen to those things.

It is, after all, a good creative way to help Fanatics Sportsbook garner a major increase in betting on Super Bowl 60. This campaign, involving Kendall Jenner, Jimmy Fallon, Robert Kraft, the New England Patriots, and Tom Brady himself, has already gained enough traction and could prove to be a success.
