North Dakota’s Super Bowl Allegiance Might Surprise You

With the biggest football game of the year set to take over New Orleans this Sunday, fans across the country are making their allegiances clear. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are set to battle for the NFL championship, and a recent survey from Betway Insider has revealed who each state is rooting for.

Here on the Northern Plains, it’s a Chiefs kingdom. North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana are all backing Kansas City, hoping to see Patrick Mahomes and company bring home another championship. Maybe it’s the Midwest connection or perhaps just a love for a good barbecue—either way, the Chiefs have their hearts.

Minnesota's Surprise Allegiance: Flying with the Eagles

Meanwhile, just across the border, Minnesota is waving the Eagles flag. It’s an interesting choice, given the NFC North rivalry, but Vikings fans might be looking for anyone other than a Midwestern team to claim victory. Maybe they just appreciate a good underdog story or the color green—who knows?

How Was All This Decided

The methodology behind this fan map comes from Brandwatch, a social media analysis tool. Over the past seven days leading up to Super Bowl 2025, the tool tracked social media posts and analyzed positive sentiment toward both teams. Turns out, people love to talk about their Super Bowl favorites, and the internet is a treasure trove of opinions.

So, as the game kicks off, you can bet there will be plenty of cheering (and maybe some groaning) from living rooms across the Dakotas and beyond. Whether you’re decked out in red or midnight green, one thing’s for sure—this game is going to be another one to remember!
