Young, Gov. Hogan Make Ravens Bets With Tennessee Counterparts

Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. "Jack" Young and Gov. Larry Hogan made bets with their Tennessee counterparts on the outcome of Saturday's divisional playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans.

Hogan will host Tennesee Gov. Bill Lee and first lady Maria Lee for Saturday's game at M&T Bank Stadium. If the Ravens win, Hogan's counterpart has promised Nashville hot chicken. If the Ravens lose, Hogan has put up Maryland crab cakes

“We certainly look forward to hosting Governor Lee, but that’s where our good hospitality will end, because I have ‘big truss’ that the Ravens are going to take out the Titans," Hogan said in a statement.

Maria Lee has ties to the area. She was raised in Silver Spring and went to the University of Maryland.

“I am honored to be with Governor Hogan and appreciate his invitation to join him for this exciting playoff game,” Bill Lee said in a statement. “It’s fitting to have Governor Hogan eat some Nashville Hot Chicken, because the Titans are certainly going to be bringing the heat on Saturday.”

Like Hogan, Young is putting a bushel of crabs from Faidley's Seafood on the line, along with two dozen crab cakes from Jimmy's Famous Seafood and a case of Duckpin Pale Ale from Union Craft Brewing. If the Ravens win, Nashville Mayor John Cooper wagered Nashville-made candy, cookies, cupcakes and home and body products.

"I have full faith and confidence in our Baltimore Ravens to take care of business against the Tennessee Titans at home on Saturday night under the bright lights,” Young said in a statement. “This has been a magical season and the ride isn’t over yet. We have our eyes on the ultimate goal of a Super Bowl Championship."
