Republican Congressman Bradley Byrne (AL-1) has placed a friendly wager with a congressman from South Carolina as the Crimson Tide and the Clemson Tigers face off Monday night in the college football national championship game.

Freshman Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-SC) tweeted at Byrne that he had “a 6-pack of Lowcountry beer that says Clemson wins.”

Byrne responded, saying he’ll “put a 6-pack of our finest Alabama beer” on a victory for the University of Alabama.

Of course I’ll be watching and will definitely take you up on that! I’ll put a 6-pack of our finest Alabama beer on an @AlabamaFTBL win. #RollTide #CFBChampionship @alabamabrewers https://t.co/iTfSkhy4h7
