Some have a significant placebo effect.
I had a very specific, OCD style routine before my.games, wearing the same t-shirt under my jersey, putting my eye black on in the right order, listening to the same music, etc etc etc. The list goes on.

A "curse" is most certainly not a real thing, but psychologically it can have a huge effect on both the opposing team and the team with the "curse."
Just like some QBs in thE NFL just play terribly in certain stadiums, it is purely psychological.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
