I am not sure why I keep getting a SyntaxError: SyntaxError: name = input(What's your favorite NFL Team? ")

I am trying to accomplish a challenge, and I keep getting an error: SyntaxError: name = input(What's your favorite NFL Team? ")

name.py 
name = input(What's your favorite NFL Team? ")
if name == "Jonathon":
  print(name + "is a true Dallas Cowboys fan!")
else:
  print(name + "is probably a fudgepacker fan!")

Looks like you forgot the opening quotemark for the prompt on the first line: name = input("What's your favorite NFL Team? ");
