With all the hype surrounding the Super Bowl on Sunday, it does not come as a complete surprise that there have been a lot of fans who are giving their predictions on who is going to win between the Philadelphia Eagles and the heavily-favored New England Patriots. Even young pigs have also joined in the fun and chose who they think will win on the night.
During one of the timeouts in the Charlotte Hornets and Phoenix Suns matchup, a race between two small pigs happened, where they will head to a cage that represents one of the teams competing in the 52nd iteration of the Super Bowl. It’s definitely a good sign for the underdogs as the winning piglet predicted an upset by the Eagles.

It was all fun and games at that point and the fans inside Talking Stick Resort Arena had a blast while watching the pigs race, however, the night did not end according to plan as the Suns lost to the Hornets, 115-110. Nicolas Batum led the charge for the visiting team, finishing with 22 points, four rebounds, and five assists, while Dwight Howard recorded a monster double-double with 18 points and 14 blocks, to go along with three blocks. The Suns, on the other hand, received a solid performance from rookie Josh Jackson who had 23 points, five rebounds, and T.J. Warren chipped in 21 points, two rebounds and two assists of his own.
It remains to be seen who will lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Super Bowl Sunday, but for what it's worth, the pigs’ prediction can definitely be considered a good omen for the Eagles, who will take every positive sign they can get to help them win it all this year.
