In an interview on Fox prior to Super Bowl LI, President Donald Trump predicted a New England Patriots victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
According to Frank Thorp V of NBC News, Trump told Bill O'Reilly he believes the Pats will prevail by eight points.
During the interview, Trump mentioned his affinity for both Patriots owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick. He also called quarterback Tom Brady "a friend."
While Brady has shied away from addressing his friendship with Trump publicly, he has been linked to the president since 2015, when a "Make America Great Again" hat was spotted in his locker, per Sports Illustrated.
