Most of America is rooting for Tom Brady to beat Bill Belichick, study finds

In the lead-up to the highly anticipated Buccaneers-Patriots game Sunday night, several prominent NFL figures have given their take on the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick debate.

It turns out they’re not the only ones that have an opinion on the matter. Thirty-six of the 50 states are pulling for Brady and the Buccaneers to beat Belichick and the Patriots on Sunday, a study done by BetOnline.ag found.

As expected, all six of the New England states are rooting for the Patriots. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Iowa, North Dakota, and New Mexico are the only non-New England states rooting for the Patriots.
