Super Bowl 50 Loyalty State By State

When it comes to rooting for a Super Bowl 50 team, most people go by their gut rather than geography.

Do you feel compelled by Peyton Manning's likely swan song? Go with the Broncos.

Are you more into the dabbin' energy of Cam Newton? Go with the Panthers.

Still bitter that your team got eliminated? Watch the commercials.

Despite all that, you might be interested to see where the general public lies on the loyalty landscape. While there aren't too many scientific polls that determine exactly how much of the population roots for one team over another, social media provides us at least a broad picture.

A lot more people list the Broncos as an "interest" on their Facebook page than list the Panthers. Nearly 8 million Americans mention the Broncos among their interests, while about 3.5 million mention the Panthers as an interest. This makes sense given that the Broncos have a much deeper history, which has allowed them to develop a sizeable fanbase over time. Another thing driving the Broncos fan surplus is that the Broncos are more familiar with deep postseason runs and will be appearing in their eighth Super Bowl, while the Panthers will be making just their second trip  to the championship game.

After categorizing the Facebook data by state we found that only two states, the Carolinas, clearly have more Panthers fans than Broncos fans. This wasn't terribly surprising given that Broncos fans make up about 70 percent of total Broncos and Panthers fans.

I have a hard time believing Washington state is pulling for the Panthers...

Panther fans hate Seattle fans waaaaaay more than the favor is returned. They just had little reason to respect the Panthers team until this year. But on the Huddle, they've really been consistently cool. 

Panthers are shutting down the east coast though....

lol Ten, Tex, AZ, LA, WS. lol all states we beat. Doesn't surprise me. Even NE. bahahahaha! Salty bishes!

I'd guess Tennessee is more about Peyton than the Titans.

Likewise, I figure the Northeast is probably pulling against Peyton as much as they are for us. Except New York/New Jersey of course. They're probably still pissed over the Odell Beckham thing.

For informatics, I'd use twitter sentiment classifiers more than Facebook for such a fluid concept.  

"Well, 'aight, check this out, dawg. First of all, you throwin' too many big words at me, and because I don't understand them, I'm gonna take 'em as disrespect. Watch your mouth and help me with the sale."

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
    • People here get mad when I tell them I prefer Miracle Whip over Dukes
    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
