Almost Everybody Is Rooting for the 49ers, Facebook Data Show - Slate Magazine (blog)

In Ohio, for instance, the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals hold down their respective metropolitan areas, but lose out to the Pittsburgh Steelers across most of the rest of the state, including the capital. The mighty Steelers' reach extends, incredibly, to pockets of Oregon, Nevada, Alabama, and Alaska, plus the entirety of Hawaii. The poor New York Jets, meanwhile, hold just a single county on Long Island. Perhaps even more ignominiously, the Oakland Raiders lose not only their own home county but the entire Bay Area to the more glamorous 49ers, though they make up for it by winning Los Angeles and a swath of Southern Oregon. And is that a patch of New York Giants territory in Central Florida?
