You might have a favorite team that you think is the best team in the entire NFL. but maybe you think, “Oh yeah, the Indianapolis Colts have to be the most popular team. That’s the state we live in!” But, maybe there is one other team that might not beat the colts, but get around 2nd place. Today, if you were curious, you will find out.
First off I will start with the teams that only got 1 vote. There were many teams that only one person liked, or teams that the majority of the people that were asked had the same answer. There were a total of 34 people that were asked, 15 different teams that people liked, and 9 of them only had one vote.
The teams from the AFC are the Jets, Broncos, Dolphins, Patriots, and Steelers. The reason that the one person who said they like the Patriots was because their dad hated the Patriots so that made them like them. Some people only picked a favorite team because of non football reasons like that. Someone said that because their grandparents were from New York so they said the New York jets. All of these teams only had 1 vote.
Then the teams that only got one vote from the NFC. the NFC teams didn’t seem to be picked as much as the AFC teams. There were 9 teams out of the AFC picked, but only 6 were from the NFC. The teams that were picked as favorites in the NFC were the Panthers, Vikings, Seahawks, and Lions. Some people said that they couldn’t seem to decide over one team so they had multiple favorites. Two people ended up having about 3-4 different teams that they insisted I put all of them as their favorites, and they didn’t even have a reason sometimes.
Now for the top 5 most popular teams according to EJHS. Starting in 5th place the first team we have are the Buccaneers. They ended up getting two votes and barely making the cut. Then in 4th place we have the Ravens. They had 3 votes, and the only reason they didn’t get a higher ranking was because there were multiple teams with 3 votes. They only got 4th place because one of the votes going towards them was someone who picked multiple teams so it doesn’t really count as a whole vote.
Now we get into the top 3. The 3rd place team with 3 votes is the Bengals. They barely missed 2nd place because one of the votes they got was someone who changed their mind when voting, which means the person probably wasn’t too sure that the Bengals were their favorite team. Then the last team before the moment everyone might have been waiting for. The 2nd place spot goes to the Kansas City Chiefs, getting 4 total votes. Some people might think that this is just a bandwagon situation, but I guess no one will really know. Then the 1st place spot goes to the team that you might have been expecting. With 10 total votes, taking up 30% of all the votes, it is our Indianapolis colts.
This was probably obvious since this is where we live, but maybe it was fun to see the other teams people like instead of our home team. I hope you thought this was an interesting article, and maybe you were part of the voting. Thanks for reading!
