What is the NFL's Equivalent Rivalry?

To much parity in the NFL and its to popular in each city. People in the gulf region care about the Saints, and the NFC South. They couldn't care less if the steelers are playing the ravens, they are watching their Saints game.

I think New England VS. Indy had a decent rivalry for awhile, but that has faded with Manning going to Denver.

The Saints vs. Atlanta is huge for us. There are the division rivals especially in the NFC East. Lotta bad blood between those teams. Jets vs. Pats is a big game up here. Steelers vs Ravens.

But Bird's Celtics vs. Magic's Lakers met in the finals for what felt like an entire decade. The NBA was those 2 guys. They saved basketball, and the NBA ran with it. Everyone in the country was getting sold Celtics vs. Lakers, Bird vs. Magic. They would be the only teams on prime time in the 80's. The NBA would open up with the Celtics on the east coast at 8 (5pm PST), and close with the lakers on the west coast at 8 (11p.m. est)

The NFL will never be sold on just 2 teams like the NBA was in the 80's. So you probably won't see anything like that in the NFL.

Yankees vs. Red Sox is a huge because those teams are in the same division in 2 giant media markets, and they both spend a billion dollars fielding teams filled with superstars.
