With all that being said, let's dive in and find out who has the best fanbase in the NFL.

THE RULES

As mentioned above, these results are purely determined by public opinion through polls on Twitter. Whichever team wins the majority vote in the allotted time frame will move on to the next round and have a chance to compete for the championship.

The seeding for this tournament was determined through reverse draft order and standings for the 2023 NFL Draft. For example, the Kansas City Chiefs will be a No. 1 seed in the AFC side, while the Chicago Bears will be a No. 16 seed in the NFC side.

For clarification purposes, the team's seeding was based on their finish in the standings versus the other picks that they may have. For example, Seattle is a No. 6 seed in the NFC for their regular season record versus where they are picking in the NFL Draft due to holding Denver's first-round selection.
