GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It’s a wager between old friends and the opposing teams of this weekend’s NFC North title game.
Wednesday, Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith made a friendly wager with Detroit Police Chief James Craig on Sunday’s Packers and Lions match-up.
If the Packers win, Chief Smith will receive American Coney Island hot dogs from Detroit’s Famous American Coney Island restaurant.
If the Lions win, Chief Craig will be shipped a 6-pack of Titletown’s Green 19 beer, Ron’s Cheese Curds, Maplewood Meats Bratwurst, coffee from The Attic Coffee Shop and a Green Bay Packer baseball cap.
“With the Packers playing so well, I’m confident our Packers will dominate.” said Chief Smith. “Detroit is a great city with a proud tradition, except for winning late in the season. With players like Rogers, Nelson, Mathews, Clinton Dix and Adams, the Packers are going clinch the NFC North title.”
Chief Smith and Chief Craig spent many years working as Los Angeles Police Officers in the 1990’s. They worked together in the 77th Street Division in South Central L.A. and have remained friends.
Kick off for Sunday’s game is 7:30 p.m. at Ford Field in Detroit.
