Quote:Joe Burrow is a captivating player. Couple his recent fame with what rookie wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been able to do this season, and there’s no doubt that the Bengals have added a handful of fans in their run to the AFC Championship game.

Quote: While they have the lowest odds to win the Super Bowl and are 7.5-point underdogs on the road against the Chiefs, the public is on their side. Hopefully, they can find some peace in that because Arrowhead certainly won’t be cheering them on.

That said, BetOnline, per WCPO, tracked 200,000 tweets from Sunday night, and the Bengals were favored in 19 states, the most of any of the remaining four NFL teams.

While they do get some clear bonuses for being the only team remotely close to the East Coast, where a ton of smaller states are, they nonetheless accrued the most favor via BetOnline.

Quote:The Chiefs came in second with 16 states. The Rams were third with 9 and the 49ers, who are 3.5-point underdogs in Los Angeles, were last with a mere 6 states. With that in mind, here’s a list of who is pulling for Cincinnati.

“The Bengals took most of the states east of the Mississippi and a couple out west. Those states included Ohio, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Denver and Utah,” WCPO’s B.J. Bethel wrote.
The crazy part is many wouldn’t have assumed this would’ve been the case, especially given how popular the Chiefs, led by superstar QB Patrick Mahomes are. Could a changing of the guard be underway? Let’s hope so!

Especially when the options are San Francisco, with 5 wins in 7 appearances, Kansas City, with a Super Bowl win and 2 appearances in the last 2 years and then the Rams who, while they aren't as commonplace as the first two, have been "contenders" for at least 5 years now.

I personally noticed that the Bengals Subreddit hit and passed 100k members, when it was only about 78k this time last year. That's pretty cool.

I knew they had made the tomahawk chop racist but I didn't think Chiefs could be.

Should have known.

So now the Native Americans can't root for anybody. Makes me sad.

Being a Chief is an immense honor for anybody and especially for Native Americans who I have descent, Cherokee.

This is just cancel culture that the loudest get away with.

Sucks for some Redskins fans I know, they cannot even root for their favorite team anymore.

Guess we are animalist next, no more Bengals.

I would have liked to have been there but I'm never showing papers to enter a venue.  Toledo supposedly wasn't going to require it but I've already lost enough ticket money on that shit.  Try getting a refund from Ticketmaster.  Bastards.

Oh, the trick to posting a pic is that you have to make sure you're using the URL of the picture itself and not the page the picture is on.  So for Google, make sure it's a public picture, click the picture so that you have nothing but the picture, not a web page showing the picture.  Then right click and select "Copy image location".  Then select the post picture icon in the forum and paste that URL in.
