Map Emerges Showing State-by-State Rooting Interest for Super Bowl LIV
By Jerry Trotta
In the simplest of terms, both the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are teams easy to pull for. On one side you have a youthful, unrelenting defense and former play-calling prodigy in Kyle Shanahan pulling the strings of an unstoppable running game.
On the other, you have Andy Reid chasing a world championship that has eluded him across 21 superb seasons as a head coach, and an all-time quarterbacking talent in Patrick Mahomes looking to get his HC over the colossal hump.
It's a mouth-watering Super Bowl matchup for neutral fans, and a map depicting the state-by-state rooting interest for Sunday's clash has emerged which proves that the nation is split.

San Fran dominating the West Coast and the Chiefs imposing their will in the midwest is what we would expect, given the geographical locations of the franchises.
Given the rivalry that Kansas City and the Patriots have developed across the last few seasons, it's no surprise that the New England portion of the country is pulling for the 49ers.
?? #SBLIV HAS ARRIVED ??@Chiefs. @49ers.

No matter what side of the country you rep nor which team you fancy in this matchup, you have to presume that this year's Super Bowl will vastly outshine last year's 16-point stinker. Get that popcorn (and buffalo chicken dip) ready.
