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.

I'm surprised more teams don't do that sort of thing for their fans. It seems like low-hanging fruit for juicing merch sales.
