Prediction
Maybe he appreciates the Kansas City Chiefs' young and talented defense, maybe he's a Swiftie, or maybe he just likes red more than gold. Whatever the reason is, the sports-loving spider crab at SEA LIFE Aquarium New Jersey has made his prediction for Super Bowl LVIII. The crab from the Shark River in Monmouth County has picked the Chiefs to beat the San Francisco 49ers, according to the East Rutherford aquarium.
