A rescued sea turtle placed her Super Bowl bet on the Kansas City Chiefs.

NEW JERSEY (WABC) -- A rescued sea turtle and apparent football fan placed her Super Bowl bet on the Kansas City Chiefs without hesitation.

Thelma, the sea turtle, lives at the aquarium, SEA LIFE New Jersey.

The aquarium placed the helmets of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs into the exhibit ahead of Sunday's big game, putting Thelma's football expertise to the test.

SEA LIFE New Jersey decided to have Thelma predict the Super Bowl winner to kick off their upcoming Turtle Rescue Team event.

She made her Super Bowl prediction known by swimming past the Philadelphia Eagles helmet, deciding that the Kansas City Chiefs would be Sunday's Super Bowl winner.

Only the outcome of Sunday's game will tell if Thelma's prediction is correct.
