NFL: What Teams States are Rooting For

A Twitter study using geo-tagged data revealed the team every state is rooting for in Sunday’s NFL Conference Championship games.

The beloved Bengals, underdogs in every game so far this postseason, have apparently tugged on America’s heartstring as they pulled in the most states with 19 in total.

BetOnline.ag analyzed keyword association Twitter data over the last three days and more than 100,000 tweets were used in the findings. The study tracked fan hashtags for all four teams such as #GoChiefs, #WhoDey, #GoRams and #GoNiners.

It’s interesting to see that the majority of the country is rooting for the AFC teams, with the total being 35 states to just 15 states for the NFC.

Complete state breakdown:

Bengals: 19 states

Chiefs: 16 states

Rams: 9 states

49ers: 6 states

NFL Playoff Play of the Day: Baltimore Ravens

The early game today is the Ravens and the Texans.

The Ravens are at home and giving Houston 7.5 points.

With an inexperienced quarterback, the Texans face an uphill battle against the Raven's D.

Look for Balitmore to win by two touchdowns and cover the points in this one.  Joe Flacco and Ray Rice both have big days and the Baltimore defense shuts down the Texans.

Take the Ravens and give the points today.

NFL Playoff Play of the Day: New Orleans Saints

It's the Saints offense vs. the 49ers defense.

The Saints are on the road in San Francisco, but as the Saints demonstrated last week, they can score when they need to and quickly.

The 49ers defense will be tested and look for them to be on their heels early.

Drew Brees with a big day and the Saints cover the 3.5 points.  New Orleans with a big playoff win on the road.

Bonus play: The OVER in the Patriots/Broncos game.  Over the 51.5.
