The New England Patriots remain the popular pick to win Super Bowl LI, so much so that even President Barack Obama has them as his pick to take home the Lombardi Trophy.

During an appearance on the "Sway in the Morning" radio show Friday morning, hosts Sway Calloway and Heather B swung the conversation to sports to get the president's championship picks.

President Obama's sports fandom has been a recurring theme throughout his two terms in office, particularly in basketball, where he projects the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA Finals.

He was then asked to give his NFL picks, where he went with the Patriots.

"Super Bowl's tougher, but I got to say at this point, you've got to put your money on (Tom) Brady again," President Obama said. "I don't really see any strong teams. Seattle (Seahawks) and Patriots have a rematch, that's my call."

President Obama's not alone. The Patriots are currently the heavy favorites to win the Super Bowl at 2-1. Behind them are the Seahawks (6-1) followed by the Minnesota Vikings (8-1) and Dallas Cowboys (8-1).
