According to an Emory University study, second-best will meet second-worst at the Super Bowl in Atlanta. For years, Emory Marketing professor Mike Lewis has used a statistical model to rank sports fans. This season, that model ranked fans of the New England Patriots as the No. 2 fan base in the nation. The same model ranked fans of the Los Angeles Rams second-to-worst, only ahead of the Tennessee Titans. 

"On Second Thought" host Virginia Prescott speaks with Mike Lewis.

Lewis joined “On Second Thought” to explain the rankings and their economic implications for Atlanta when the Patriots-Rams rivalry plays out Super Bowl weekend.
