IN THE SUPERBOWL, MAN USUALLY TAMES BEAST
The New England Patriots are in luck:
History shows that when a team with an animal mascot opposes a team with a human mascot in the Super Bowl, the animal is in for a long day.
Does PETA know about this? Of the 38 previous Super Bowls, 25 have matched teams with a human mascot against an animal mascot. The human has beaten the animal in 18 of those showdowns, a whopping 72 percent. Two of those wins are by the Patriots over the Panthers and Rams, though the Pats were mauled by the Bears 46-10 in Super Bowl XX. This statistic, though, could prove ominous for a Philadelphia team represented by an endangered species.

TEAMS WITH HUMAN NICKNAMES ARE 18-7 VERSUS ANIMAL NICKNAMES. This is how my wife makes her picks, and she always wins. Lock city sweetheart.
