My first guess for theme split was "hated" teams as scum, specifically teams that Tom Brady was on. The Patriots make sense as scum because of deflategate and Bill Belichick just being generally unlikeable. Plus they dominated the AFC East for so long and were considered a shoo-in to the playoffs. Tom Brady was easy to hate (though has become much more likeable since going to TB imo). So my first thought was that Pats and Bucs could be scum. Now I'm not so sure because the mafia might have 3 players out of 12. If the game has two mafia and one TP though it could still fit.
Your bird theory is wrong; my team isn't a bird and I'm town. Also there only like 3 teams with bird names I can think off from the top of my head (unless you're saying birds are scum). I don't think there's a division or conference split.
I have to sign off now but just wanted to throw in (again) I really don't know how I feel about the Falcons as hated. There are just so many other teams that fit the hated role. Cowboys are voted the #1 most hated team in the NFL in like every poll despite being "America's team." Maybe that's why they're hated lol. The Patriots are also highly disliked, the Raiders are really unpopular and have the stigma of being a pretty gritty and aggressive team, and the Falcons aren't KNOWN for choking as like a long-term stigma. They choked in a random game against the Cowboys and of course in the Superbowl vs. the Pats, but other than that nobody really think about them.
It's too early to know who I wanna vote for but I did list my concerns about Parrot and Chris. I'd like to get some more analysis out of Oro other than just lists. We can start discussion now and Chris should post his division ASAP. There are 4 people I read kinda town but don't feel the need to list them or anything. G2G.
