You may be a hardcore fan of another team that’s still in it, or you’re just inhuman. How can you not like this team?

I’ll give nfc north fans some space to not pull for them. That conference all hates each other deeply.

When I hear “Detroit pro sports”, I think of Bill Lambeer. Sorry - I’m not getting on the Lions bandwagon.

I can't stand either of the AFC teams that are left. I'll pull for the Lions next week but would pull for San Francisco in the Super Bowl if they beat Detroit.

Mahomes and Kelce are so unlikeable that I hope the Ravens blow them out and they slam their helmets and cry . . . again.

Would be great timing on the heels of the Barry Sanders documentary.

Also got completely crushed by the Ravens earlier this season.

I’m a fan of an AFC North team, and I despise the Steelers, Ravens and Browns. We all hate each other. I still hate the Chiefs more than I do the Ravens.


NFC East hate each other; NFC North hate each other; the other two are meh.

AFC North hate each other; AFC East hate each other; AFC West couldn’t care less, AFC South is garbage anyway

I think it'd be a cool story if a QB that was Mr. Irrelevant won a Super Bowl.

I'm fine with Lions or 9ers, even the Ravens because I think Lamar gets too much shite sometimes.

I just don't want the Chiefs, we've seen them win enough.

Fun fact. 16 NFL teams (half the league) don’t have the city they play in as the title of their team.

1. Inglewood, CA- Los Angeles Rams
2. Inglewood, CA- Los Angeles Chargers
3. East Rutherford, NJ- New York Jets
4. East Rutherford, NJ- New York Giants
5. Santa Clara, CA- San Francisco 49ers
6. Orchard Park, NY- Buffalo Bills
7. Tampa, FL- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
8. Glendale, AZ- Arizona Cardinals
9. Landover, MD- Washington Commies
10. Arlington, TX- Dallas Cowboys
11. Miami Gardens, FL- Miami Dolphins
12. Charlotte, NC- Carolina Panthers
13. Foxborough, MA- New England Patriots
14. Paradise, NV- Las Vegas Raiders
15. Nashville, TN- Tennessee Titans
16. Minneapolis, MN- Minnesota Vikings.

ETA: it’s funny how you get more downvotes for a post only stating facts than an OP of an opinion. I guess this board doesn’t like fun facts.

At this point I’m completely neutral and would be fine with any team remaining winning it all

Chiefs - CEH
Ravens - Queen, Lamar, OBJ
Lions - I mean it’s the Detroit fricking Lions
SF - Deebo, CMC

Yea, that’s the teams that aren’t named after the cities they’re in. It’s not a gotchya post. It’s just a fun fact. What’s the deal?
