Jessica Simpson is staying away from her football star boyfriend Tony Romo's big game on Sunday, because she fears she will jinx him.

Quarterback Romo's Dallas Cowboys take on the New York Giants in a crucial play-off match. The winner takes a step closer to the Super Bowl in Arizona on February 3.

Romo's teammates joked that she should stay away and they are getting their wish on Sunday. Her spokesperson Cindy Berger tells the New York Post, "She is not attending. She is working on a new album. She will be watching from home and cheering him on."
