So what percentage of Americans are rooting for Green Bay this weekend?

[Iggloo]

I think it has to be pretty high. 90%? 95%?

 

[SteveDallas]

Gonna be a shame to disappoint so many nice folks. GO DALLAS

 

[Tainthappening]

Well Dallas, Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota fans most likely are all for Dallas... so I doubt anywhere near 90-95%. Detroit may not be rooting for Dallas... but I doubt they care for GB either.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Nah, I've never been able to support the Packers, even though THEY should probably be America's team what with the small market and the cooperative ownership dealie.

Going to be quietly hoping for a Dallas win.

 

[fordman84]

Poor shegals fan. Shows up looking for companionship and ends up standing in the corner without a partner.

 

[Tharvot]

The Cowboys are like the Yankees. You either love them or hate them. I'll be pulling for GB.

 

[jarntt]

62.76%...The Dallas haters and the ones that can't let the call go and start the same threads on message boards throughout the Country are probably 95% the same people. So no change there. Some fans that normally would go against Dallas will root for them this week because they are such a big underdog I would think.

I think the = pats/rats,....boys/GB ,....are the games of the weekend,.....the others might be one-sided...?!

Tell you what, based on what I'm reading online, I think there's actually a healthy portion of Lions and Vikings fans rooting for Green Bay. If one things brings fans of rival teams together, it's their hatred of Dallas.

 

[Iggloo]

Dallas is consistently rated the most hated football team in America, but also one of the most loved, so yes, polarizing team. They were second to the Broncos on the question of what team people around the country liked best, and first on the question of what team people hated most.

I suspect a lot of Lions fans are rooting for Green Bay this weekend. Not sure about those Vikings and Bears fans of course. But I know many older Vikings fans still despise Dallas due to the Drew Pearson push off.

Same here. On top of that, many of the younger ones still seem to get bent out of shape about the Herschel Walker trade, and just the fact that the Cowboys get so much coverage. I don't think they all grasp the concept of ratings.

As long as we get by Carolina I don't care who comes to Seattle for the NFCCG.
To rep the NFC, it is expected that you have to beat the best com petition out there.

 

[cdumler7]

I was wondering who Seattle fans might be cheering for in this one...Do you want the revenge factor of beating the Cowboys or to go up against the best quarterback in the NFL right now?

 

[HammerDown]

Yeah, when I see fat politicians partying with owners, I tend to root against that team.

Again, for me it doesn't matter. I am confident in the Seahawks to prevail.
Both GB and Dallas (this year) are fun to watch and both add a level of anxiety towards the matchup.
Gotta get by Carolina 1st, then bring on the best team.
If anyone beats us in our house, it will of course be a huge bummer but kudos to them if they can pull it off.

 

[tzorn10]

I want the rematch with Dallas.

I'm a Viking fan that will be rooting for the Pack.

But only cause I have money on them.

 

[gandydancer]

As long Jeff Janis is on the 53 man roster, I will cheer for Green Bay all but 2 games a year.

Grew up in DC as a Skins fan. That will also help my answer...

GB has always been America's team. Lambeau Field is the most iconic stadium in American sports, they have the most loyal fan base, no greedy owner, small market,etc.

Dallas isn't even close. If anything the Steelers are a distant second.
