Seattle Seahawks v. Chicago Bears. No Contest when Chicago is Involved

Although I'm a bit biased being that I live/work/play in Chicago, whenever Chicago or the State of Illinois is involved in the wagering, they always come "ready to play". If you've ever been to Chicago, you know that this is an "eatin' town". Some of the best food around is made, prepared, and consumed in the Windy City. For the NFC Divisional Playoff Game, Chicago's Mayor Daley has put up a bountiful feast against Seattle's Mayor Greg Nickels. Here's the rundown.

What Chicago put up: pork chops, steaks, hot dogs, sausage, stuffed pretzels, potato chips, Mexican food, pizza, gourmet popcorn, Italian beef, beer and soda.

What Seattle has on the line: smoked king salmon, cheese, beer, Washington state wine, espresso chocolates and coffee.

Seattle's ante into the wager is a little light, isn't it? Perfect for a day at the orchestra, eh? Competing with Chicago is very difficult and Seattle fell short.
