Poll: Is Connecticut Jets, Giants or Patriots Country?

Show some team pride by voting in our poll.

Update on Oct. 10 at 9 a.m.

On Monday, the question was asked whether you root for the New York Giants, New York Jets or New England Patriots. Considering today's matchup, it's an apt question to ask once again. The Jets (2-2) take on the Patriots (3-1) in Massachusetts at 4 p.m..

Without an NFL team of it's own, Connecticut's allegiances are split. As of Friday, 34 percent of respondents picked Big Blue, nine percent picked the Jets, 18 percent chose the Patriots and the rest root for other teams. Depending on how today's game goes, could the numbers slide in the Jets' favor?
