The president is a Chicago Bears fan, and has already committed to attending the Super Bowl if the Bears get there be beating the Packers on Sunday.
Friday, he busted out a prediction for the game, too. From the Chicago Tribune:
Obama’s guessing the Bears win, 20-17, according to White House spokesman Matt Lehrich.
Why?
“The difference in the game: the crowd and venue of Soldier Field,” Lehrich quoted Obama as saying.

I don’t have a dog on this fight (sorry Michael Vick). Sorry to see Pouncey get hurt, he played for my alma mater, the University of Florida.
Sanchez stuffed again! But the steelers are pushing the rules.
They are going to blow it if they dont get their act together.
I saw a chicago olympics one the other day.
Is PA more unionized than NY? Will watch.
If I’m not mistaken, he was accused by more than one woman...possibly different accusations, but over the past few years he’s been in some less than “professional” situations.....
the Ravens/Steelers game was like watching prison football - I was afraid they would have to extend tv playing time or quit calling any penalties.
Holy cow! I nodded off!
Roffelsberger ! In for the TD
Looks like it’s gonna be a yellow SB...

Guess I missed that one. I did see pictures of people standing around when it was announced they didn’t get the Olympic nod. Sorta like an Oh Boo Hoo moment.
The Green Bay Packers have won more championships — 12 — than any other team in National Football League history.
They won their first three by league standing (1929, 1930 and 1931), and nine since the NFL’s playoff system was established in 1933 (1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1996).
Green Bay also is the only NFL team to win three straight titles, having done it twice (1929-30-31 and 1965-66-67).
In addition, the Packers won the first two Super Bowls (over Kansas City in 1966, 35-10, and over Oakland in 1967, 33-14), as well as a more recent one (over New England in 1996, 35-21).
Since the league implemented a playoff system in 1933, the Packers have played in the NFL’s deciding game 12 times (10 NFL title appearances from 1936-67, two Super Bowls after the 1970 merger). Only the Giants (18) have played for more titles.

One more reason Obama will not win Wisconsin in 2012.
Not that they needed one more.
