Rocky the Octopus, who correctly picked the winners of the top three BCS bowl games last month for NBCSports.com, is about to be returned to the wild. But before departing the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Wash., for the Puget Sound , he has put his unblemished record on the line by picking the winner of Super Bowl XLVI.

Click here to watch video of the prescient cephalopod making his selection. (Watch carefully: The video cuts off before he actually grabs the container, but an arrow points to his pick shortly before it does.)

By the way, assuming that color preferences or some other factor don’t influence his choices, the odds of Rocky correctly guessing four consecutive games are 1 in 16, or 6.25 percent.
