The president says that he is biased because of his friendships with Brady, coach Bill Belichick, and team owner Robert Kraft.

'Well, I hate to make predictions, but I'll say, I don't even know what are the odds, I guess it's pretty even, so I'll say the Patriots will win by 8 points,' Trump told Fox News.

'Well I like Bob Kraft. I like Coach Belichick and Tom Brady's my friend,' Trump said.

The president noted the flak that Brady, Belichick, and Kraft have received from the public because of their relationships with Trump.

'I know they're taking a lot of heat,' Trump said of the Patriots' leaders. Brady (far left), Belichick (center), and Kraft are looking to win their fifth Super Bowl title on Sunday

'I know they're taking a lot of heat,' Trump said of the Patriots' leaders.

'But you know what, they're also getting a popularity of it. I think they're going to do very well. Tom's a winner.'

Trump also made sure to praise the Falcons.

'I think the other team is fantastic though. No I think it's a fantastic team, turns out to be a good quarterback,' he said.

Just moments before the start of the game, Trump tweeted: 'Enjoy the Super Bowl and then we continue: MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!'

'But you know there's less pressure on the Patriots because they've been there. You know once you've won, and you've done it, and they've done it, once you've done it there's a lot less pressure.'

'So we'll see what happens but you know you have to stick up for your friends, right?'
