Buffalo would be my second favorite team.
Mainly because they are my wife’s favorite team.

You mean when we weren’t winning Superbowls?
Because in the mid 1970’s we were in the middle of a 7 year in a row Division Championship run.
As a kid the St Louis Cardinals were my 2nd favorite team because I played for the Cards in TBall. Plus they weren’t in the same division and I also really liked Terry Metcalf. When I got electric football for Christmas (you know the one with the vibrating field where half the players would spin around in circles) I painted one team the Rams and the other team the Cardinals. But since they moved to the NFC west it became hard to like them.
Although, after living through the 80s, 90s and beyond…
2nd favorite team is always whoever’s playing the 9ers!

My list and reasons are real similar to this.
I usually dislike a team if they win too much or have recent wins vs the Rams that pissed me off.
I guess I hold football grudges and soften up vs Underdogs if they haven't pissed me off recently.
The Chargers were always my second favorite team growing up. Loved the Dan Fouts teams with Chandler, Jefferson Muncie, Winslow etc. That Coryell offense was incredible to watch.
Currently I really dislike the Niners and Ravens, then its the Eagles, Bills, Broncos (due to asshole face) and the Jets due to Rodgers.
If a team beats or upsets one of these teams then they get a special place in my heart.
This is why I like the Chiefs. They recently have knocked out the Niners and Ravens, Eagles, Bills and Broncos.
This is also why I don't dislike the Cowboys and Packers, they both knocked off the Niners in the 90's.
The Giants knocked off the Pats 2x in Super Bowls and I wont forget that.
Strangely, I don't hate the Pats as much at the moment with Brady and Billthecheat gone.
Now I look at your list:
Bears, Vikings, Commodes, Browns, Texans, Colts, Jaguars, Chiefs, Broncos
As stated don't like asshole face and Chiefs upset teams I don't like. Plus, Chiefs are my Wife's team and I like her so root for her team.
Plus, Wife and daughter are Swiftites, so Chiefs games are a whole thing.
Bears - Still hold a bit of a grudge from the 85 Championship game. WOW long grudge.
Commodes, Browns, Colts, Jags all are underdogs to me so get some love.
Vikings have McConnel so I root for them plus we usually roll them.
The Texans are a team I really like. Stroud is really easy to root for. Seems like a humble guy and is a hell of a QB.
I also like rooting for the Lions, been terrible for so long so have that underdog thing going. Plus, I like watching their Oline and with all Goff's limitations, he is a tremendous QB to watch when he has a stable pocket. I get the Goff dislike but I always root for former Rams with the exception of players with attitude issues like Marcus Peters.
But don't get it twisted, any team that plays the Rams I root against. Any team that I need to lose for the Rams to get a playoff spot gets no love from me.
Yes that is why I notated when we were out. All season it was only Rams. During Super Bowls and Championship games those were the only other teams I would root for.
I'm a one team guy. Rams all the way!
I have lived in NC all my life and so I actually know quite a few Panther fans and I have actually tried to like them but with them starting out in the NFC West that tainted them for me and they have never been that compelling. I did pull for them during their super bow run when they lost to the Pats but it was never a strong pull and now there is complete indifference as I also really dislike their current owner a lot.
Outside of the Rams, I will follow players I like more than the teams themselves.
Of course the team for day motto is always in play for whoever is playing against the 49ers or is in a postilion to help advance the Rams post season aspirations.
