Thelma the River Turtle might not know football stats, but she didn’t need them to make her pick. At Sea Life Aquarium in East Rutherford, Thelma’s task was simple: pick between two helmets representing the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. She swam past the Eagles’ helmet like it was invisible and made a beeline for the Chiefs’. Bold move. Confident choice.
This wasn’t just for kicks. Thelma’s prediction tied in with Sea Life’s upcoming Turtle Rescue Team event, a way to raise awareness and hype for both football fans and animal lovers. Living with her tank buddy Louise (yes, the
Thelma & Louise reference is intentional) and other fishy friends like silver arowanas, Thelma might now be East Rutherford’s unofficial sports analyst. If the Chiefs take home the win, she’ll be swimming in bragging rights.
But can Thelma call games better than sports analysts? Guess we’ll find out.
While waiting to see if Thelma’s right, here’s how to watch Super Bowl LIX live
Not planning to miss the big game? Good call. Here’s how to make sure you’re not the person asking for updates halfway through the Kendrick Lamar halftime show.
- Date: Sunday, February 9, 2025
- Time: 6:30 p.m. ET

New Orleans knows how to throw a Super Bowl party. This will be their eighth time hosting, tying Miami for the most Super Bowls in one city. The Caesars Superdome is iconic for a reason—it's a survivor. After being a shelter for 30,000 evacuees during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the building was rebuilt and remains a proud symbol of resilience. Now, it’s ready to host another Super Bowl that could make history.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will battle it out, with all eyes on the outcome. But until that final whistle blows, it’s Thelma’s prediction holding court at Sea Life. And honestly? She’s got more confidence in her pick than most fans right now.
