If the Giants win, Shaheen has to buy cases of beer from six New York craft breweries -- including Brown's Brewing in Troy. If the Patriots win, Schumer has to buy craft beer from New Hampshire (among them: Smuttynose). Andrew Cuomo and Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick also have a food wager on the game, but it's not as fun.
