President Obama won’t say who he’s rooting for in this year’s Super Bowl.

“I can’t call it. I can’t call it,” Obama told ABC News’s Diane Sawyer in an interview on Thursday. “When the [Chicago] Bears are not involved, I can’t make predictions because I will get into trouble.”

Calling both the New England Patriots and New York Giants “great teams,” Obama complimented Tom Brady as “obviously one of the best quarterbacks we’ve ever seen” and said Eli Manning is “playing as well as he’s ever played.”

Vice President Joe Biden, meanwhile, has officially picked the Giants to win – after accidentally declaring that the team would beat the 49ers in San Francisco last week. Biden tweeted his prediction on Thursday: “Eagles… next year. Love Brady, think @Giants.” (Politico/McDevitt)
