Are you looking forward to the Super Bowl on Sunday? Well, we hate to be the bearers of bad news, but we already know who's going to win.

Yesterday morning, the zookeepers at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, Utah did what they always do at this time of year and asked a 13-year-old ape named Eli to tell them who's going to win on Sunday. They asked him by setting up two paper maché helmets inside of an enclosure at the zoo—one for the Denver Broncos and one for the Seattle Seahawks—and then letting Eli run free inside of the enclosure. And he let them know which team he was picking by knocking down that team's helmet.

So which team did he pick? Which team should you bet the house on? Which team is going to win the Super Bowl? That team is none other than…

That's right! Eli selected the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl. And that's pretty important news because Eli has correctly predicted the Super Bowl champion six years in a row now. So he's either really, really lucky—or he knows his football. Either way, we're not betting against him.
