well it is the most historical conference thats been around a lot longer
id say packers/bears and redskins/cowboys are definitely the top 2, after that they're up for debate. if you want to go for more recent rivalries then its NE/Indy, say you want something more classic id say cowboys/49ers or maybe steelers/raiders. perhaps you could throw in pittsburgh/cleveland, thats a pretty good rivalry

Probably cause when Bears are bad, Packers suck and vice versa.
First the federal government borrowed money; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America.

The Pat-Colts rivalry is a media-created, meathead-fueled fabrication. The Pats have had a long-standing heated rivalry with the Jets which, awesomely enough, is starting to flare back up again.

How the hell is Pats-Colts a media fabrication? They're two most consistent contenders of the 00's, they have the two best QB's in the league, and they've had some very good games. Just because ESPN latches on like a Tijuana hooker doesn't mean it's fake.
Jets-Pats is basically the redheaded stepbrother of Yanks-Sox. No one cares all that much but people get fired up on gameday because "New York/Boston is a city full of queers and their foosball team can blow me."

Again, it's purely a "rivalry" spawned by two contemporary powerhouses. It's like calling the Cowboys and Niners a rivalry because both were concurrent perennial contenters in the early Nineties. There's no long-standing animosity or history between the clubs, or at least enough of either to bring justice to the term "rivalry". True rivalries should be somewhat timeless, not merely a convenience of fortune.

And the Yankees-Sox are the Cousin Oliver of the whole NYC Culture v. Boston Academia rivalry of the 1800s, if you want to be pedantic about it. That's obviously besides the point. The Jets and Patriots have been heated rivals since their AFL days. Just because a bunch of BU/NU students backwards-baseball-capped their way onto the Patriots bandwagon back in the early aughts doesn't mean the rivalry is merely a by-product of the Yankees-Sox media hype.

Also, its more between the fans of the Colts/Pats rather than the players/coaches themselves. The Pats and Colts players respect each other for the most part and there is no animosity there. But there is between the fans of the teams.
With the Jets/Pats there is actual bad blood with the whole Mangini/Belichiek and all the spygate bull.
