Best rivalry
As we get ready for Week 3 to begin, I have a question; what do you think in the NFL's best rivalry?
Is it an old one like Cowboys/Steelers? Or more recent like Colts/Patriots?
Games that I never miss recently are Steelers/Ravens, Patriots/Jets, Giants/Eagles and Packers/Bears for divisional rivalries.
Not too many big inter-conference battles anymore, except maybe Giants/Jets because of the need to be "New York's team". Although we have had some great Super Bowl's I wouldn't consider any of the teams "rivals".
Packers and Steelers are two historic teams but have never been great at the same time like now.
Colts/Saints? No.
Steelers/Cardinals. No.
Maybe just the Giants/Patriots because they played a gritty last game to end the 07 season then met again in January 08 when NY stopped the 18-0 team.
In conference rivalries change constantly. I think Falcons/Eagles will be a good one for a while. As well as Chargers/Patriots, and Steelers/Patriots.
Does an old rivalry like Bengals/Browns have any juice any more? How about Broncos/Raiders?
Any more big ones I have forgotten?

Packers/Vikings. Colts/Patriots was big for a while. Raiders/Chiefs used to be huge. Cowboys/Redskins was big. Helps if both teams are good, though. Haven't had that for a while.
If you go all the way back to the '60s, Packers/Colts was huge. Starr vs. Unitas. Lombardi and Shula. Between them the two teams won 8 championships in 11 seasons, from 1958 through 1968. And in two of those seasons, one of them lost in the championship game.
