7 of 8 NFL playoff teams are from blue states [View all]

I don't believe I've ever seen it so lopsided before.
I look at it as a premonition of gooder things to come in 2026.

Saturday January 17
Buffalo vs Denver - New York, Colorado for novice fans
San Francisco vs Seattle - California, Washington state, ditto

Sunday January 18
Houston vs New England - Texas, New England duh
Los Angeles (rams) vs Chicago - California, Illinois

Just thought of something. New England comprises 6 states which all vote blue, so it's more like 12 states represented in the playoffs to just, uh, hahaha, the LONE star state.

Houston Texas the only chance maga world has this year, and California gots two shots at it.
Texas and California just like the redistricting wars. QB Gavin Newsome vs the fumbling Trump eh?
I'm for San Fran, tho any but Houston.

PS Houston Texas had 20% higher violent crime rate than Chicago in 2024, and 40% higher property crime rate. Why no national guard and thugs of ICE in Houston, Trump?
