Who knew my friends are Cowboys Fans!! I knew Pittsburgh was big down here. And by the way we get the NFL games here I would think the Giants would be the #1 Fan Friend of Miami Dolphins

1. The Jets!

2. WTF Raiders fans?

All living in the most godforsaken parts of the West, eatin' sand critters and cactus?

Why have they gone there? It's troubling.

13. They don't even have Alameda, their home county.

But I would hardly call L.A. County one of "the most godforsaken parts of the West".

14. LA? Have you BEEN THERE?

3. I think Dallas just has the biggest fan base.

It seems like Dallas and Pittsburgh are the most common friends.

5. It would appear that way.

But a lot of those gray counties have like 5 residents.

6. Remember this just shows the majority by county.

Dallas fans get everywhere, like roaches.

4. Hinsdale County, Colorado!

Proof that there are more Texans there than Coloradians.

Great map!

Texans fans? Don't let Dallas take over!

7. Texians?

Hinsdale County is the third least densely populated of the 64 counties of the State of Colorado of the United States. The county population was 843 at 2010 census.[1] The county seat and the only municipality in the county is the Town of Lake City. Hinsdale County is named for George A. Hinsdale, a prominent pioneer and former Lt. Governor of Colorado. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinsdale_County,_Colorado

8. Tejanos.

About 30 or more years ago a Texas legislator put in a bill to make the area around Lake City a Texas State Park.

9. Coloradans.

The miners are sometimes known as Coloradomites. (That's not widely known.)

10. I say Coloradian.

I must admit that I am a part of the Texas invasion. In 1962 and '63 I went to Ute Trail Boys Ranch just to the north of Lake City in Gunnison County. All of the boys and staff were Texans as was the owner. Then in 1980 I moved to Colorado permanently.

11. Dallas is listed as 1st for more than half of team's fans.

Interesting.

12. WV is Steelers Country

Almost the entire state!

15. "Patriots fans gradually spread across the nation like mange."

Four more maps, each showing the country's fandom prior to each round of the playoffs, only including the teams still alive. Allegiances remain largely geographical, but Patriots fans gradually spread across the nation like mange.
