Eli The Ape Super Bowl Prediction: Has Picked Winner For Six Straight Years

Eli the ape has made his Super Bowl prediction for tomorrow’s big game.

Why is this significant? Eli, who lives in Salt Lake City’s Hogle Zoo, has picked the Super Bowl winner for the previous six NFL championship games, which makes him a better sports prognosticator then most of the talking heads on ESPN and other networks.

Eli knocked down a paper-mache helmet with the Seahawks logo while, signifying that he is picking Seattle to win it all. “He made his pick without any hesitation,” said a zoo employee.

Last year, Eli correctly picked the Baltimore Ravens to win by knocking down a paper-mache goal post decorated with the Ravens logo.

But wait; there’s more.

Ozzy the grizzly bear has predicted a Denver victory by selecting a peanut butter and banana cake with the Broncos logo on it. “When released from his cage, Ozzy made a beeline toward the cakes. He licked the Broncos cake, sniffed and licked the Seattle Seahawks cake, and then settled on the Broncos cake.” Ozzy, who lives at ZooMontana, also picked the Ravens in last year’s Super Bowl.

Further on psychic Super Bowl predictions, a mixed outcome occurred at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Fla. Hugh the manatee picked the Seahawks, while Buffett the manatee picked the Broncos. They signified their choice by swimming toward targets containing the logos of the two Super Bowl contenders. Interestingly enough, Buffet also has a six-year winning streak going.

Either the Super Bowl prediction of Eli the ape or Buffet the Manatee will prove to be correct, and one of their winning streaks will come to an end. We’ll know in about 24 hours.

Super Bowl 48 starts tomorrow night at about 6:30 pm Eastern time at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
