President Barack Obama made a secret prediction during a live interview on Sunday, picking which team he thinks will win the Super Bowl.

{mosads}After circling his chosen team on a piece of paper, he put it into an envelope to be read on “CBS This Morning” on Monday.

“I have to fill this out?” he asked, though, before making his decision and handing it back to CBS correspondent Gayle King.

The president and Michelle Obama took part in their first live sit-down interview together since they have been in the White House on Sunday during the Super Bowl 50 pre-game show on CBS.

The couple said they have a regular group of friends that come over to watch the game and eat typical Super Bowl food: wings, pizza and nachos.

“We let ‘Let’s Move’ off the table,” Michelle Obama said.

“There’s, like, the little vegetable tray that nobody touches,” the president added.

Michelle Obama said people who are focused on the game sit in the Treaty Room. There’s also a room for kids, she said, and a “champagne room.”

“That’s where my mother sits,” she said, “where you really don’t know what’s going on but you’re close to the champagne.”

When asked about the halftime show, Michelle Obama said she “cares deeply” about it.

The couple then reflected on a photo from the 2008 inauguration.

“I’m sure I was thinking I’m so proud of you,” Michelle said to her husband, before talking about what they’d want to do once they leave the White House.

Michelle Obama predicted her husband would want to take a walk by himself outside. The president said the First Lady would want to travel.
