For the NFL the majority of Arkansas fans are most likely Cowboys fans, No real majority for NBA, MLB is the Cards.

Central and south Mississppi is pretty solid Saints country. Probably most of the state is Saints territory.f

Baseball is mostly Braves, with a Braves farm club in Jackson. For older folks, the Cards were the traditional team because of radio and Dizzy Dean.

Mississippi is solid Saints, especially Jackson and south. People like the Giants because of Eli, but don't pull for them against the Saints. Northern Mississippi follows Grizzlies, but not much further south than Oxford.

The NYT has done some 'fan mapping' for the various sports, and the results are somewhat different.

The Cardinals are the most popular MLB team, but that's by a relatively small plurality. Its stronger in Eastern and Northern Arkansas than elsewhere, but its not a ridiculous share margin.

The Cowboys are actually a majority of the middle belt of the state, with them and Saints fans, and them and Chiefs fans disputing the South and North counties of the state relatively closely.

In the NBA, oddly, the Lakers are well regarded, as are the Celtics, but there is no clear plurality in most areas.

NFL - Kentucky is split mostly Bengals and then the Titans. Also a fair share of Steelers, Colts, and Browns. Im a Bengals fan.
MLB - Reds followed by Braves and thrn out west its the Cardinals. Im a Reds fan.
NBA - We root for Kentucky.

I don't pull for any NFL or NBA teams. Pro ball sucks now.

Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals (sometimes) is all. The NBA is such bad basketball that most Kentuckians, who know good basketball when they see it, will watch.
