Got some money riding on the 2015 Super Bowl? In need of a “sure thing?”

Thank goodness Teddy Bear the porcupine is here to predict whether the New England Patriots or Seattle Seahawks will win the big game. Spoiler: The psychic predator picked the Seattle Seahawks.

Will Teddy Bear get it right like he has in Super Bowl 46, 47, and 48 (no big deal, he’s just really good at this), or will he let us down? Because, well, he’s a porcupine.

Only time will tell.
