The Newton North Tigers and Waltham Hawks football teams are not the only people banking on winning their scheduled Sept. 8 rivalary game.
Newton Mayor Setti Warren and Waltham Mayor Jeannette McCarthy have wagered outings in their towns.
The wager: If Newton wins, Warren will be treated to a tour of Prospect Hill Park in Waltham with a meal at a Waltham restaurant. If Waltham wins, Warren will treat McCarthy to a meal O'Hara's Food & Spirits and ice cream at Cabot's.
McCarthy and Warren met briefly on Sept. 5 at Waltham City Hall to officially place their bets.
At first, Warren wagered a meal at Rox Diner (as well as Cabot's ice cream), but switched it to an outing at Brewer's Coalition. He finally settled on a meal at O'Hara's, which McCarthy said is owned by a Waltham resident.
The two mayors made a similar bet last fall, with Newton North losing the game 26-20.
Both mayors plan to attend the Saturday game. The game kicks off at 1 p.m at Newton North High School.
