I am so torn. I want to hate the Chiefs more than the Cowboys but I simply cannot.
Chiefs are moving up the ranks though. I might have them 3rd now. After Cowboys and Seahawks on my list of most hated teams.
Hate is very visceral, but who do you root against most?
Dallas vs Chiefs: who are you rooting against?
Seahawks vs Chiefs?

Depends on the relevance to the 49ers. If Seahawks and 49ers are competing for the division title I would root for the Chiefs. If the Seahawks were in last place I would root for the Seahawks.
Same thing with Cowboys. If for instance the 49ers needed the Cowboys to win to retain the one seed say over the Eagles then I be rooting against the Chiefs but under most normal circumstances I would root against the Cowboys.

Ok, so now let's say it makes no difference to any team's playoff or draft standing: Cowboys vs Seahawks?
Chiefs vs Seahawks?
I'm partially testing the rationality of your preferences here.

I never claimed to be a rational person.
If the game is not relevant to the 49ers I will root against the cowboys for sure. Chiefs and Seahawks is a hard one. I intuitively want to keep Seahawks as my number 2 hated team because it is a division rival but the Chiefs wounds are very fresh so I might actually root against the Chiefs in that one.

Congratulations! You have rational preferences.
Btw, I saw a kids book showing colors through NFL team uniforms. The Raider player they showed was Jerry Rice. The 49ers didn't get a player.

Will he get to wear his dad's jersey? I thought it was so cool when Larry Nance Jr. got to wear his dad's retired Cavs uniform.
