Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell has bet with Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., state over Saturday night's wild card game in Seattle between the Seahawks and Lions. 

Dingell is wagering items from Zingerman’s Deli and DelBene offers Washington wine and Beecher’s cheese.

“The Lions may be going into Saturday’s game as underdogs, but the Seahawks should know better than to take Detroit grit and tenacity for granted,” Dingell says in a media release. “With the postseason on the line, all bets are off. The Lions are hungry for a playoff win, and we look forward to enjoying some Washington wine and cheese after cheering them to victory this weekend.”

DelBene says:

“Ending the season with three losses in a row has to hurt, so I’m sure Matt Stafford and Detroit will give it their best this weekend. But with the advantage of playing at the Clink with the 12s, Pete Carroll and the Seahawks will make this game against the Lions look easy,” DelBene said. “Not to mention, when did the Lions last win an away playoff game? I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t born yet.”

The Seahawks will face Lions in the NFC Wild Card game on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2017. The game is at CenturyLink Field in Seattle at 8:15 p.m. Eastern.
