“The Mole and Meares Show,” however, hit the jackpot recently, if only for a week. The duo was contacted  by a producer at NFL Films for a piece Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” show is doing on social media and its influence on sports.

Showtime sent correspondent Susannah Collins to the basement studio where Christopher Meares Greg Molyneaux, have filmed “The Mole & Meares Show” since 2008.

The site includes weekly video, where Mole and Meares pick winners for their four games of the week. They then refer viewers to their website, www.moleandmeares.com, where they unveil the rest of their picks, publish their power rankings and host a contest where visitors can pick games and win prizes.

NFL Films shot footage of “The Mole & Meares Show” and Collins did a guest spot. In exchange, Mole and Meares shed their jerseys for suits for a week and used the NFL Films studios to tape their Week 15 show.

“They wanted to show the transformation of a basement show to a professionally created show,” Meares writes, adding that Showtime’s staff filmed the makeup process, the suiting up and the meetings with a director.  Showtime also did all the editing for the show.

When Meares, who also blogs on CBS Sports, contacted me about the segment, which he says is scheduled to air Wednesday, December 22, I told him he could consider me jealous. He indicated that I shouldn’t be, that the opportunity likely arose more from the duos’ proximity to the studios — they’re 20 minutes away.

Doesn’t matter. I’m jealous anyway. Congratulations to Mole & Meares. I hope your segment leads to big things. Best of luck.

We’ve seen numerous team related profiles in the past–a couple official, many more unofficial–but this appears to be the first time I’ve come across a single entity that has set up a matching account for each team.

So how did the teams stack up?

Dallas Cowboys – 12,737
Pittsburgh Steelers – 9,834
Chicago Bears – 7,515
New York Giants – 5,598
Philadelphia Eagles – 4,995
Washington Redskins – 4,762
Green Bay Packers – 4,712
Oakland Raiders – 4,263
Denver Broncos – 3,876
Indianapolis Colts – 3,704
Cleveland Browns – 3,460
New Orleans Saints – 3,454
Seattle Seahawks – 3,427
San Francisco 49ers – 3,419
Kansas City Chiefs – 3,183
Baltimore Ravens – 3,110
Atlanta Falcons – 3,062
Minnesota Vikings – 3,040
New York Jets – 2,943
Miami Dolphins – 2,942
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 2,856
Carolina Panthers – 2,640
Cincinnati Bengals – 2,569
Buffalo Bills – 2,563
Houston Texans – 2,555
New England Patriots – 2,353
Arizona Cardinals – 2,037
Jacksonville Jaguars – 1,743
St. Louis Rams – 1,565
San Diego Chargers – 1,429
Tennessee Titans – 1,300
Detroit Lions – 916

Dallas leading the way probably isn’t surprising–but having a lead of nearly 3,000 followers over second place Pittsburgh is a bit surprising.

New York Giants being in 4th place, behind even Chicago, is a bit surprising–given the population of New York–and the Jets being at just under 3,000 followers is also a surprise.

Also, if you’re at all active on Yardbarker, the Philadelphia Eagles coming in 5th place would be a bit of a shock–although it probably is about right for their fan base, based on population.

Any surprises to anyone else?
