Twitter (X) NFL Fanbase Optimism Infomap Released by BetOnline
The graphic below is based on X data in the last month (30 days).
BetOnline tracked positive sentiment tweets from each fan base, to see who was the most optimistic about the upcoming season. For example, any tweet with a fan hashtag that mentioned the Super Bowl, playoffs, or winning the division. Ex. "The Chiefs will win their 3rd Super Bowl in a row #ChiefsKingdom" or "The Lions will win the Super Bowl this year #OnePride." Over 180,000 tweets were tracked.
As you can see from the graphic, Chiefs fans are the most optimistic and for good reason. They still have most of their prime players, including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones. They are looking for the first Super Bowl "three-peat" in league history.
Right behind them are Lions fans, who tasted playoff victory for the first time since the early 90s, and are hungry for even more.
