Here is the latest Superbowl XLVI bet between New York and Massachusetts politicians – which we interestingly enough got from Governor Deval Patrick’s press shop. Update: Press release from Cuomo’s office came 5 minutes later.

The Massachusetts Democrat has put on the line 46 Centerville Pies, Legal Sea Foods clam chowder and 46 cases of all natural chips from Food Should Taste Good.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo countered with 46 cheesecakes from Junior’s in Brooklyn, 46 cases of New York-made yogurt and 46 dozen bagels from Ess-a-Bagel in Manhattan.

Of course, the food goes to charity.

In the press release, Governor Cuomo kept up his confident tone about the Giants chances, which he displayed during a press conference last week.

“We all know what happened the last time the Giants and Patriots squared off in the Super Bowl, and there is no reason to believe the outcome will be any different this year,” Governor Cuomo said. “I look forward to congratulating the Giants on winning their fourth Super Bowl title and seeing Governor Patrick’s generous wager offerings go to a food bank here in New York State.”

“In the spirit of good sportsmanship, I wish the Giants well — but not that well!” said Governor Patrick. “We are looking forward to bringing another Super Bowl championship back to Massachusetts. Go Pats!”
