Twitter map of the U.S. shows Chiefs, Patriots are co-favorites to win Super Bowl
Alaskans like the Chiefs’ chances of winning Super Bowl LIV. Ditto for NFL fans in Tennessee
That’s according to Twitter usage that was examined by NFL specialists at the sports gambling site sportsbetting.ag. They analyzed geotagged Twitter data from across the country over the last month, tracking mentions of the Super Bowl.
They determined who fans in all 50 states believed would lift the Lombardi Trophy on Feb. 2, 2020 in Miami Gardens, Florida. The group looked at more than 150,000 tweets in that time span.
