HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The governors of Pennsylvania and New York are betting goodies from each other’s states on the outcome of the AFC championship game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets.

The winner of the game Sunday at Heinz Field advances to the Super Bowl.

The office of Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett says that if the Steelers win, Gov. Andrew Cuomo will send Corbett a basket including Nathan’s hot dogs, chicken wings from Buffalo, Hudson Valley apple cider as well as cheese and maple syrup.

If the Jets win, Corbett will send Cuomo a gift basket with Pennsylvania-made foods and beverages.
