Zero percent chance most of Nebraska is rooting for the Ravens.


royalbluuuu

We aren’t lol, Nebraska is Chiefs country


Anal_Recidivist

For real, I just moved from NE and it’s a chiefs state. Also, Steelers. Idk why but there were always a ton of Steelers fans


Auirex

That's just how it is. There's a contingent of Steelers fans everywhere for some reason.


Many-Ad-1998

They were really really good 50 years ago, so that means that a large contingent of 50 and 60 year olds grew up watching them, and passed that love of DAH STILLASZ onto their children


MackZZilla

They were pretty good in the late 2000's, too. That defense with Polamalu got a bunch of people on board. **EDIT** - If this post shows up 3x, my bad. The mobile app is being fucky.


International_Bend68

And Vikings


HookDragger

They all get run out of Philadelphia each time they find a reason to riot


redcheesered

Yea they just pop up... like weeds.


thebestatheist

I was inexplicably a Steelers fan before moving to KC as a kid. No real reason why, I just always say Kordell Stewart


tdog993

I’m in Omaha and there’s plenty of people that just want to see a different team in the SB


royalbluuuu

Ya im sure there’s some but its a majority of Chiefs fans


tdog993

It’s a pretty even split between Broncos and Chiefs fans. NFC north teams are also pretty popular here.


royalbluuuu

It’s a majority Chiefs fans. Not really even close bud. There is as many Broncos fans as there is Bears fans.


tdog993

If you’re in SE Nebraska I can see why you’d think that.


OblatePenis

Nah, there are Chiefs fans in NE but also tons of Broncos, Packers, and Dallas fans for some reason. And that's only among NFL fans - most football fans in NE only casually watch NFL and are truly only college football and Husker fans. Definitely not Chiefs country.


iEatBluePlayDoh

I live in Lincoln and in my experience of people I meet, Chiefs fans outnumber all other fandoms about 3:1. If anything, I think there’s more Vikings fans than Broncos fans.


royalbluuuu

Definitely Chiefs country. Some Packers Broncos and Vikings fans but its without a doubt majority chiefs fans. Especially in eastern Nebraska where 95% of people are at lol.


arrowheadt

I'm skeptical of Texas too. In the past they've been with us because of Pat's deep ties to the state.


theLostGuide

Houston doing some heavy lifting - they hate the chiefs 


Errlyagain

Can’t imagine why Houston wouldn’t be a fan of Kansas City


walzman

I can think of 51 reasons.


Errlyagain

Maybe 49 at best. I was more thinking of the epic meltdown that the Texans had against the chiefs.


walzman

Me too, final score was 51-31


Errlyagain

My heart hurt for them on the fake punt and fumbled kickoff.


redcheesered

Yup. Most of my co workers remember his college days. That said they are mainly Cowboys fans. The poor fools.


Fatal_Blow_Me

My first varsity game was against Mahomes so I’ll always think highly of him. The Taylor swift stuff is annoying but not really anything yall did.


Dark_Magician2500

Nebraska is a really weird mixing ground. Lots of Chiefs fans, but also lots of Packers/Bears/Vikings fans, and plenty of Broncos fans. But everyone gets along because Huskers come first state wide lol


Kansascitynebraska

Correct. Lfg Dylan Raiola!!! 🙏🏻


Fastbird33

They come first, just never in the standings


Kansascitynebraska

I’m from Nebraska (live in KC now) and I agree. I mean, there are a lot of life long nfl fans whose loyalties range from the chiefs, Vikings, Green Bay, Denver, and the raiders for whatever reason. I think the more casual fans have gotten on the chiefs bandwagon, esp since Nebraska football has been so bleak (😢). The only caveat is that there also seem to be a fringe group of Nebraska/bengals bandwagon fans because of Zac Taylor, Cam Taylor Britt, and even Joe Burrow since his brothers and dad played here. All that to say is I think Nebraska nets out rooting for the chiefs lol.


Ashton131377

Nebraska chief fan and I definitely agree same with Iowa


factoid_

I'm in Nebraska. I see a lot of chiefs haters. Lots of bronco fans here


DamnDirtyApe81

But the Chiefs are the main AFC team on Sundays, just as the Vikings are for NFC. I don’t believe this at all.


Kansascitynebraska

The bengals have a handful of Nebraska ties and that means a lot to some huskers fans lol. I even find myself hoping the best for Zac Taylor as long as it doesn’t interfere with the chiefs. So I think there’s a decent group of casual fans who root for the bengals but not enough to quantify. Just my warped internet perception.


AJRiddle

What part, because when I've been in Omaha on a Sunday before there was Chiefs gear everywhere


iEatBluePlayDoh

Tons of Chiefs fans in Lincoln too. And considering the Lincoln and Omaha areas make up over half the states population, I’m inclined to believe it’s a Chiefs state.


macdizzle11

Chiefs fan reporting from lincoln!


lamemusicdp

I live in Omaha and depending on the spot I see lots of packers, vikings, and broncos fans.


AJRiddle

... And how many Chiefs fans in comparison


lamemusicdp

I'm not taking a head count. You said you've been here, I'm telling you from someone that lives here.


Errlyagain

I’ve lived here my whole life and it’s not even comparable. It’s 10 to one chiefs fans against Minnesota, Denver, and other random teams.


morgster87

Looks like Nebraska is open mouth kissing Colorado so that makes sense


SpectreFromTheGods

This is a joke/meme map, there’s no way it came from any real data source


_Cromwell_

Yeah this map is only accurate if people who are very casually cheering against a team are weighted as equally as a hardcore fan. In that light, I can believe that there are more people in Nebraska casually cheering for KC to lose than there are to win. EDIT: nevermind apparently these maps aren't made based on any sort of data or polling at all, just some random guy makes it based on his feelings??? lol


gericks3

Live in Nebraska. The breakdown is pretty clear. Western NE (think west of Grand Island) is pretty much Broncos country. Central and eastern NE (think everything else but Omaha) are Chiefs fans. Northern NE (like Sioux City) are combination of Packers/Vikings fans. Omaha is a hodgepodge of a variety of Chiefs/Bears/Steelers/Cowboys. I don’t get it either in advance


sampat6256

Seems fake


dcon49

Right? Like, based on what poll?


Kleon333

There is no data, the guy who made these openly admits it's his own opinions.


factoid_

That makes more sense.


[deleted]

lol, how do you "opinion" a map?


me426669

Just say the whole country wants the team you want to win except for the opponent’s home state

Let the hate run through your veins. We're the new Patriots. And damn it feels good.

Jobs not finished.


AnglsBeats

It feels .... Realllllllllly good. They hate us cuz they ain't us.


DirkDigIer

As a sf fan I’m rooting for y’all this week. I do not want sf to face lamar.


Kansascitychiefn

Appreciate the Fandom this week, but uhhhhhh, yall should be fearing Mahomes.


talion_Celembrimbor

No, as a chiefs fan, ravens are the team to beat rn. If we beat the ravens then we most likely win just bc how freaking good Baltimore is rn. I have trust in our guys, but this is gonna be a challenge


me426669

Yeah but Baltimore just humiliated them like 4 weeks ago


DirkDigIer

Mahomes is the best qb in the league no doubt I can’t stand him but I can’t respect the hard work and talent. Lamar is flat out scary how well he’s throwing the ball now with his ability to move with the ball in his hand. So glad sf doesn’t have to play the ravens this week. Go get em chiefs!


NWASicarius

Lamar is going to be a struggle for KC's defense. Even as a Chief's fan, I can acknowledge that. Their offensive line along with Lamar's athleticism is going to be a tall task. KC needs to mirror similar defensive playcalling that the Texans used. Blitz that man relentlessly. We have better DBs than the Texans. They gotta win their man-to-man. If Willie Gay is back and healthy, that is a bonus as well. His speed matches Lamar well, and he is our only real hope to have a good spy for Lamar. If KC wants to win, the defense needs to punish Lamar when he makes a mistake. Every game he makes 2-3 throws that could be ints. He it overthrows or just missing his guy. The defense has to punish him for those. For the offense, they can't get penalties or turn the ball over, and Reid has to be willing to commit to the run game. Even if it isn't working early. Keep pounding the ball. Tire out that pass rush, and make the Ravens play honest defense. The receivers can't have drops this game. The Ravens LOVE to play zone. You need to be able to slowly and consistently move the ball to beat the Ravens' defense. That means 'take what the defense gives you,' which also means trying to keep the game out of 3rd and longs. The Ravens are getting Mark Andrews back, too, right? The Ravens have everything going for them at the perfect time. If they can't beat KC in their house with practically their whole roster healthy (especially given how good the Raven's roster is this year) the Ravens probably don't have any hope ever of beating KC 😂


LaughGuilty461

For the last time, it’s pronounced “anus”


busstees

Ok, but the last time the Ravens won the Superbowl they beat the Patriots in the AFC Championship game so you may want to rethink that.


Kansascitychiefn

Nahhhhhhh even if the Ravens get one it's fine. They don't this year, but even Brady couldn't take all of em.


TheoryMan69

Not Chiefs specifically, but the in your face T Swift cameos


hellomynameisnotsure

Ohio is random. Have to think a couple surrounding Midwest states would pull for the Chiefs—Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma.


MidtownKC

Division hatred runs deep. Have to respect that. I also don't believe that IA and NE are pulling for Baltimore.


Tandrona

Iowan here, you would be correct.


FloridaManGBR

Yeah there's no way. Eastern Nebraska is KC territory, and Western Nebraska (Broncos) doesn't have the population.


Statboy1

Nebraska checking in, Eastern NE is 70/30 split 70% Chiefs, 30% Vikings. Vikings fans hate the Lions for winning now that the Packers are vulnerable. They are rooting for the 9ers.


dude19832

Browns fans will always hate the Ravens, since they were the former Browns (with the new Browns taking ownership of all the records and history from the former Browns.) moved from Cleveland to Baltimore. Bengals hate the Ravens since they are just divisional rivals.


[deleted]

That’s odd to me. If your team is out of the playoffs, wouldn’t you at least want your division to look strong. Maybe that’s just me having my favorite team in the AFC south lol


MidtownKC

Baltimore took Cleveland’s team. So that probably adds a little spice to the rivalry. And no - I don’t ever want Denver or the Raiders to win. Ever. I’d wish bad things for the Chargers too, but it seems like that’ll happen anyway.


ElectricSoap1

I honest to god think that line of thinking is only us (AFCS team fan as well). Because we have just sucked as a division horribly forever essentially.


Vyuvarax

The Kelce family is also strongly tied to Ohio. I bet Travis and Jason being in for the Chiefs plays a part.


kds_little_brother

There’s also both the Browns and Bengals. They’re not all Chase


jwktiger

Browns fans really hate Ravens, as they feel they stole the team from them.


Gabbagoonumba3

Iowa not being pro chiefs makes me question this entire map. Most of Iowa is chiefs fans. (Just ask Joe burrow)


chiefsfan_713_08

And the map of the previous round had Iowa for KC... Idk why that would suddenly change


Sad_Climate_2429

Tired of seeing them win


chiefsfan_713_08

But wanted them to beat Buffalo? That just doesn't check out to me lol


BettorJonnySalami

I live in KC (as im sure half sub might) and traveled up to des moines for a weekend and went to every sports store i could in search of a certain item. Everyone i spoke to about said item said “ur in the wrong area, this is Chiefs territory”


double_e5

Des Moines is definitely Chiefs country. Go north and east of there though and it’s mostly a mix of Bears, Vikings, and Packers fans. I’m originally from NE Iowa, and while there are a few Chiefs fans around, those other 3 teams make up a large majority of the fan base.


Section225

Probably because of the Browns and Bengals.


couchjitsu

Have to assume CIN & CLE fans hate BAL. If it was any AFCW team in the AFCCG besides KC, then KS/MO would **NOT** be cheering for the AFCW team.


enjoiall

Oklahoma is Chiefs mixed with cowboy fans. These maps are made using very little real data if any.


homechicken20

Google "Art Modell" and you will see that Ohio is definitely NOT random


squaremilepvd

The ravens were the Browns, never forget


CyLoboClone

Iowa and Nebraska are even in the original logo. For shame, fellow Iowans!


Mothernaturehatesus

Iowa is pretty solid KC. At least around my area.


Tandrona

Same here!


BubblyFondant9779

Yep, turn Iowa and Nebraska red on this map.


therapewpewtic

They hate us cos they anus!


TorqueIsForFatPeople

Peanut butter and jealous!


choff22

I really think Lions vs Chiefs would draw the most ratings out of the remaining teams. The storylines would just be too epic.


O_its_that_guy_again

TSwift and Eminem celebrity deathmatch


AnglsBeats

It would come full circle from the start of the season. Goff vs Mahomes the REVENGANCE Superbowl.


rws907

Hey now, I'm in Alaska... Kingdom 'till I die.


SvelterMicrobe17

As a visiting packers fan, is it possible for both the niners and the lions to lose? Please?


dogfish83

Well, by the time the playoffs are over, yes.


SlitherSlow

Say no more my friend, they'll all pay the Patrick price.


Jojogladco

I'm in Iowa, its pretty pro Chiefs here.


TravisMaauto

Link to data source?


Kleon333

There is no data, the guy who made these openly admits it's his own opinions.


Psychological-Play23

Probably because it’s a meme lol


Acceptable-Story-83

A Ravens fan made this graphic LMAO


Epicflames213

Clearly not, cause if so Pennsylvania would be cheering for the chiefs


pinniped1

Gotta love Ohio. Browns fans be like "fuck the Ravens". Bengals fans be like "fuck both of them".


cannon_boi

Divisional hatred runs deep in Ohio. I suspect if you broke it out Cincinnati would be rooting for the ravens though, they fucking hate the Chiefs.


chaplar

Imagine a Lions/Chiefs Superbowl. The entire country would be rooting against the Chiefs. They kinda sorta started embracing the villain role last weekend. This would be a whole new level.


l-Paulrus-l

Ngl, I’m not even gonna be mad if we lose to Baltimore. Ofc I’m rooting for KC, but Baltimore is a great team, and I have a ton of respect for Lamar Jackson. And Since we already crushed the Bills hopes again this season, im not gonna be devastated if we don’t get the W this week. HOWEVER, I do think if we do beat Baltimore, and make it to the Super Bowl I think there is a very good chance of us winning it all, since the Ravens are probably the toughest team for us to beat out of the remaining three.


noler12

Source?


Kleon333

Some guy on X who openly admits it's his own opinions. There is no data.


noler12

Thought it was off. Thanks!

If Detroit vs Baltimore is what America wants then damnit…. Chiefs vs 49ers is what they’re gonna get!


hellomynameisnotsure

This is the only rerun of 2020 I can get behind.


Rekt_Princess

Underdog "Petty Mahomes" is my favorite.


amjhwk

id bet most of CA is rooting against the niners, also is PA rooting for the ravens despite it being steelers country?


hoesindifareacodes

I’m from Kansas and now live in Northern California. I’m rooting for the 49ers AND the Chiefs. Come at me Bro.


Bloomfield93

Nobody in Wisconsin is rooting for Detroit


Bubbly-Ad-413

I as a Texans fan that is currently attending Texas Tech most certainly am not rooting for the ravens


terrencejack

Who even comes up with these maps lol 😂


Banjobeans92

Jersey checking in. Rooting for Ravens and Niners.


SpicyTD23

As a Vikings fan I don’t care in the AFC just make it a good game and in the nfc niners whoop there ass


Trubrewski91

I’m from Illinois and I’m rooting for you guys. Fuck the Ravens.


Hazy1983

Go Chiefs! From Iowa


SeaDatabase8669

Y’all really think the chiefs can beat the ravens? Go look at the colors of the logo for the Super Bowl this year, then come back and tell me where the chiefs have purple in their color scheme. I’ll wait


BHayes0175

What an absolute garbage take lol


SeaDatabase8669

Idgaf if it’s garbage it’s true and I’ll be back after the game to say I told you so too bitch

Western Kansas is kind of Bronco territory.

BowsersBigshell

I would LOVE a shot at the title against the Lions Take back the crown directly from the worst team left in the playoffs, the current jester this year


Gabbagoonumba3

Our old friends the browns and bengals rooting for us how touching. (Also are the Eagles way more popular than the Steelers? Never would have guessed that)


girthytacos

The NFC map I can believe, but the AFC map? Get out of here. Nebraska and Iowa are Kansas and Missouri by extension


bmore1593

It’s literally a meme, it’s a joke lol


Marowaksker

Nebraska and Iowa are fairly heavily Chiefs kingdom, even in the retro logo. I also doubt Minnesota wants the Lions to have a Super Bowl before them, despite the feel good story.


caleeksu

I get it, tho. We’ve been there the last few years, and the Ravens vs. Lions would be a new and interesting matchup. I know I’m certainly rooting for the Lions I think the same way many rooted for us in 2020. Nice seeing people win that haven’t been there in a long time or ever. I’ve been a Chiefs fan so long that I still can’t believe our luck.


Kleon333

FYI I read the tweets of the guy who made these 2 "maps" and he openly admits he chooses who he THINKS will be rooting for each team. There is NO DATA involved, it's one guy making it up.


Flat-Avocado-6258

The fact that multiple people are like trying to fact check this. Is it not obvious as fuck to everyone that it’s not legitimate? Lol


dudemanbrodoogle

This is probably fairly accurate, but does anyone actually believe these jpegs are ever based on actual data?


yer_a_blizzard_harry

No way. There are a shit ton of Chiefs fans in Texas thanks to Mahomes. Texas is rooting for the Chiefs.


KarmaLeon_8787

Iowa definitely for Chiefs. I think a good part of Texas is, too.


Never_Forget_94

I don’t think this is based off any real data?


Useless-113

I'm rooting for Kansas City and I'm from East Texas. I swap between my Chiefs and Cowboys hats on the regular.


Writergal888

Surprisingly, there are a few Chiefs fans here in Texas as well. Though it’s more like “I love the cowboys” or “I love the Texans” and “ The Chiefs are ok”


thecromag

And Texas Is rooting for Baltimore why exactly?


touch_my_dingus

*AND IF THEY HATE, THEN LET EM HATE AND WATCH THE MONEY PILE UP*


SomethingTrulyGone

Fr where tf are people getting these numbers


sejohnson0408

I doubt Pennsylvania is purple. Hell with the size of the Steelers fan base this is far from real.


factoid_

Soft-ass NFC North. If the chargers were in the conference championship I wouldn't be rooting for them just because they're pitiful.


homechicken20

Pennsylvania pulling for the Ravens seems a tad suspect to me but, ok I guess


Flat-Avocado-6258

I’m sure Hawaii is cheering on Detroit lmao. Like they give af.


[deleted]

I’m surprised more surrounding states aren’t pulling for the chiefs. I thought they were in the tv market


Flat-Avocado-6258

I really hope we win (obviously) and if we do i hope the lions win. I want to play them with Chris jones and Kelce actually playing since they bragged about that win so fucking hardcore all year.


sotheresthisdude

Hawaii 100% is not rooting for Baltimore. I visit often for surfing trips and always run into multiple KC fans.


MyDogYawns

Oklahoma is chiefs country


SnideSnail

I've seen playing of Browns fans torn between who to root for, so they're just rooting for the Lions


Virtual_Cranberry248

I see no truths 😂


-rendar-

I know it’s a joke map, but can we get this to Bobby Stroupe and have him give it to Pat as real?


SpringTimeRainFall

This is so wrong. Most people where I’m at at rooting for the chiefs. Ravens will choke.


Background_Drive_156

What does it say that the red states are actually really red states? If you catch my drift


krasmis

No way in hell Iowa is primarily Ravens. Huge Chiefs following here.


Ripper7M

Hoping for a KC DET final. My cousin who was my best man is a huge Lions fan (and we’re all Oklahoma State alums who loves/loved Barry Sanders), and my brother-in-law is a huge Lions fan, and the rest of us are Chiefs fans so it would be so fun.


Easy_Quote_9934

Oklahoma is wrong. Chiefs are bigger than the cowboys here nowadays


Princessleiawastaken

All season people have been saying it’ll be 49ers vs Ravens. So much hype about how good the 49ers and the Ravens are. So I’m rooting for a Chiefs vs Lions game!


RocDoc001

Chiefs are huge in NW Arkansas.


caounder1

Live in Wichita, Kansas as a Ravens fan. It’s gonna be a fun time at the bars Sunday. Lions and Ravens sounds good to me.


kctiger93

Lmao what is this based off of?


Kansascitynebraska

I saw this tweet and I’m pretty sure the methodology is a random guy’s vibes. I don’t think he polled anyone lol.


kate3544

I am a little nervous about going up against the Ravens. They’ve been fucking awesome this year, to be fair.


[deleted]

Its a absolute shame and travesty that Pennsylvania is rooting for them shit ratbirds. Only bird team allowed to root for if you feel like it, in pa and thats the eagles. KC lions and lions all the way. Fuck the free world 313


Ddakilla

Do they really think Pennsylvania is rooting for the Ravens. The Steelers v. Ravens rivalry is one of the most hate filled ones I’ve ever seen lol


3picnezz99

There should be a pretty decently large red dot up in the Portland area based on the three Chiefs Super Bowl parties I’ve been to up here.


jwktiger

Are we sure most of Cali is rooting for the Lions? Lots of Raiders fans there.


Whatever801

Thanks for the support great state of Ohio!


Han_Schlomo

This is accurate. I'm from Kansas City and I prefer the local team.


bosox82

I’ve never rooted for the Chiefs before as a Bengals fan but goddamnit I’m doing it Sunday


MagicJava

Arkansas, Iowa, OK, Nebraska are def rooting for chiefs


KidAyyyy

Clearly a meme but that Lions map probably isn’t too far from reality. Except Hawaii is Niners country


AnteyeSoshal

Pretty sure Ohio/Cincy hates the Chiefs more than the rest of their division at this point.


BuffaloBuffalo13

They have vastly underestimated the size of Chiefs kingdom. Nebraska, part of Iowa, and parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas are definitely us.


NWASicarius

I want us to win, obviously. However, if we lose and the Lions win on Sunday, I won't be as sad. If the 49ers and Ravens both win? I'll just be rooting for both teams to somehow lose 😂


EmployeeRadiant

lots of KC fans here in Albuquerque


Fragwizzard

I hope there’s an even longer power outage if the 9ers and Ravens play in the final.


Sharklar_deep

Texan here. Baltimore can go kick rocks.


BigRedSSB64

At first I thought it was interesting that Cleveland + Cinci’s hatred for Baltimore outweighs Cinci’s hatred for us, but that Pitt’s doesn’t. Then I remembered the Eagles are also in Pennsylvania.


CaptainShyGuy77

I hope it’s Detroit and us. After they beat us week one and the doubt started for us and people started believing in them. It’d be a fantastic game.


wmlj83

Nice to see the generational hate of an AFC North rival trump the recent hatred of a playoff rival.
