> GREEN BAY — The reddish-orange sweater has entered Lambeau Field, but for now, it is hidden under a long wool coat and scarf. Gov. Chris Christie has come prepared for the elements in Green Bay — although the locals considered the high-teen temperatures "mild" — to watch his favorite football team.

> Christie, as his spokesman promised late last week, said he paid his own way and flew commercial out of LaGuardia. He had an early-evening flight that, he said, was filled with fans for both teams.
>
> "We were the last two on board," he said, referring to his son Andrew, "and the reaction was great. There were a lot of Cowboy fans on the plane, and they were cheering, but then you had the Packers fans yelling, 'You got no chance!'"
>
> The Packers are 5 1/2-point favorites but Christie — citing his inside knowledge — said he likes the Cowboys' chances.
>
> "I do," he said. "I like the way they're playing, and having spent some time around them the last four or five weeks now, they're a very confident group. They won't get flustered today. They may not win, but they won't get flustered."

> He arrived independently of his pal, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, but he said he'll be at his side again, watching from the luxury boxes high above the so-called frozen tundra. Fox director Rich Russo told the NY Daily News that the network would "not going into this game looking for Governor Christie" — cue the laugh track — but even Christie seemed flummoxed at the attention.
>
> "I'm totally amazed by it — and I'm not somebody who's not used to attention, but the attention to this has been completely over the top," he said. "But it is what it is, right?"
>
> Then, before boarding an elevator to his box seats, he confirmed what everyone no doubt expected: He'll likely be headed to Seattle for the NFC Championship Game if Tony Romo and Co. pull the upset.
>
> "I think I'll have to, right?" Christie said. "But we'll see what my day job lets me do or not let me do."
