(Columbia, SC) -- Before you bet on the Patriots or Rams, you might want to see who a certain zoo animal is picking in the Super Bowl.
Columbia's Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens announced yesterday that Maverick the sea lion, who correctly picked the Eagles last year, will make his pick this week.
Two footballs, each with the logo of one of the teams, will be thrown into Maverick's pool Friday morning, and the six-year-old will pick one.
There's no indication which way Maverick is leaning between New England and Los Angeles, but it might be worth remembering he's a California sea lion.
