SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) – It’s time for those Super Bowl bets. This year the governors of Illinois and Indiana are putting up some good eats on the outcome of the big game. If Chicago wins, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels will fork over an assortment of Indiana foods, including candy, pretzels, salsa, pickles and popcorn. If Indianapolis wins, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has to send deep-dish pizza, cheesecake and kosher nuts and candy. Each gov is predicting victory and looking forward to chowing down when the debt is paid up.
