America’s Most Hated NFL Team Revealed, and It’s Not the Chiefs

If you assumed the Kansas City Chiefs were the villains of the NFL right now, Google says otherwise.

A Canadian sports betting site dug through Google Keyword Planner data to find out which teams get the most negative searches across the country, and the results are pure football-fan drama. If you love NFL rankings, team rivalries, and a little bit of online chaos, this one is for you.

According to the data, the Philadelphia Eagles take the crown as the most hated team in the United States.

The runner-up spot goes to the Las Vegas Raiders, who lead the hate-charts in eight states. That probably won’t surprise anyone who has ever argued with a die-hard Raiders fan, or anyone who has simply seen a Raiders fan.

In third place, the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers tie with six states each. The Jets being on the list feels almost expected at this point. The Packers, on the other hand, might have simply inherited the resentment that comes with decades of winning.

Rounding out the top tier of villainy are two more iconic franchises. The Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers tie at three states each, proving that even though Cowboys fans call their team America’s Team, at least a few states would very much like to opt out.

All of this comes from search trends, not polling, so the data reflects what people are actively googling. And yes, that means people are literally sitting down at their laptops and typing in things like “I hate the Eagles.”

The dedication is impressive.

While the Chiefs didn’t crack the top five, their absence might be the biggest twist. Maybe the Taylor Swift era softened their internet footprint. Maybe Patrick Mahomes is too likable. Or maybe America has simply redirected its energy toward booing the Eagles.

If you want to go full map-nerd, there’s a visual breakdown showing exactly which states hate which teams. It’s a strangely beautiful piece of sports-fan cartography.

In the end, it’s a reminder that football loyalty runs deep, football hate runs deeper, and Google sees absolutely everything.
