Football and Facebook: NH Residents Back 49ers in 2013 Super Bowl

It's not a surprise that most Facebook users in New Hampshire started the football season solidly supporting the New England Patriots. After all, they're our team.

"While winning seems to matter, NFL teams have local followings that are probably heavily influenced by family ties and/or where a person grew up," according to Facebook, which recently compiled data on Facebook users who are fans of an NFL team on the social network.

During the regular season, Patriots fans on Facebook are likely to be friends with fans of the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles, Facebook reports.

But now that the Patriots season is over and the team that knocked them out of the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens, is heading to Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers, many local residents have shifted their allegiance to the 49ers.

According to Facebook data, most Facebook users in New Hampshire will be rooting for the 49ers this Sunday, though there are pockets of Ravens rooters in central and far northern parts of the state.
