GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It’s not just politicians who are placing high profile bets on Sunday’s Packer-Cowboy playoff game.
The Stevens Point Brewery said it was contacted by Lakewood Brewing of Garland Texas about a wager. If the Packers win, the Point people will get some of Lakewood’s craft brews. If the Cowboys pull off the upset, Point will have to send some of its beers to the South.
Meanwhile, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings says he’ll give Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt some famous Texas barbecue from the Pecan Lodge Restaurant if the Packers win. If Dallas wins, Schmitt says he’ll deliver a basket of unspecified “Wisconsin favorites.”
Also, Governor Scott Walker has been jawing with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie over Sunday’s game. Christie is a long-time Cowboys’ fan — and he hugged team owner Jerry Jones after last Sunday’s come from behind Dallas victory over Detroit.
Walker tweeted that the only owner he plans to hug is one of the 350,000 Packer fans who own stock in the team.
Las Vegas now has Green Bay as a five-and-a-half to six-point favorite for Sunday’s contest.
