It's 3 to 1 Steelers.
At least in the Marine world.
Today a pair of manatees and sea turtles made their Super Bowl predictions at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota. Buffett the Manatee appeared to head for the Cardinals logo when he made a last second decision to swing to the Steelers.
The crowd, made up of media, tourists and volunteers, went wild. Either way Buffett came away happy with a carrot. His tank mate, Hugh, agreed, giving the Steelers unanimous support from manatees.
The sea turtles, however, were split. While Montego snapped for Pittsburgh, Shelley forecast an Arizona victory.
No word yet if the Mote predictions in Sarasota generated any odds in Vegas.
