    Best NFL rivalries of the upcoming season

    Not sure I agree with one...I DO think the Steeler/Bengal games will mean more...and there are 2 of them...

    but here they are...1 at a time...in this guy from Sportsline's view...

    #1...Indianapolis-New England

    When the Colts moved out of the AFC East, they thought they put the Patriots in their rearview mirror. Uh-huh, Richard Hatch thought he was clear of the IRS, too. Since the NFL realigned in 2002, the Colts and Patriots have met five times -- with Indianapolis finally breaking through last year with a victory in Foxborough. The Colts didn't just shake off that 800-pound gorilla; they pinned him with a 40-21 rout of the then-defending Super Bowl champions. That was supposed to be the breakthrough, but wouldn't you know it? They get to play the Patriots again ... and again it's in Foxborough, site of their last four games with New England. So here we go again with Peyton against Bill, Adam against the wind and Indy against the odds. Hallelujah.


    Well...I think it's #2 for next season...but that's just me...

      2. Dallas-Philadelphia
      The Philadelphia Eagles don't talk about Terrell Owens. In fact, Donovan McNabb never mentioned his name at the team's minicamp. But you better believe he's on their minds. The two first meet Oct. 8 in Philadelphia, and no, I wouldn't want to be working security at the hotel where the Cowboys stay the night before. Owens is not liked by the Eagles, but he's positively abhorred by dyspeptic fans who insist he sabotaged their club. This is liable to get ugly, and I'm not talking about what happens on the field. This may be the first time we may have to cover the parking lot. A year ago the good people of Philadelphia burned Owens in effigy and tossed No. 81 jerseys into a bonfire ... and he wasn't even playing. I can't imagine what they do for an encore, but I'll be watching.

      Now...I would have this at #3...but it could be #1...these games...especially the one if Philly...will be massacre-like...

          3. Cincinnati-Pittsburgh
          Now we have a rivalry. The Bengals made sure of it last year when they zoomed to the top of the division, won in Pittsburgh and wide receiver Chad Johnson compared the Steelers to a black and white TV. Then the playoffs arrived, and, suddenly, the division is in black and white. Again. Now Palmer goes off on the Steelers, and so what? I'd feel that way, too, if I just lost a playoff game where my knee was twisted into a pretzel. "Carson Palmer only beat us one time," linebacker Larry Foote told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "so he should hate us." Exactly. But Carson Palmer is not the issue here; the Bengals' front seven is. In three of Pittsburgh's last four defeats of Cincinnati, the Steelers had someone run for at least 123 yards. So you hate the Steelers? Then hire someone who can tackle.


          You can't say it any better than that...

          they can't stop the Steeler run game...

          and the Steelers are the better team...

          Palmer will regress a bit with the leg...

          Ben is on the way up...and his receivers are as good this year...period...

          fuck Cincy...but this rivalry will be the most intersting next year...

              4. Denver-Kansas City
              Fans would choose Oakland-Kansas City as the better rivalry; players would point to this game. So would I, and here's why: While Raiders-Chiefs games always seem to be separated by the thinnest of margins, the Raiders haven't won one since 2002. That's six straight and seven of the last eight. Plus, they're 13-35 the past three seasons. The Silver and Black is more like the Silver, Black and Blue, and no thanks. But Kansas City-Denver ... now, there's a pairing that's unpredictable -- unless, of course, you're talking about someone winning on the road. The Broncos lost six of their last seven at Arrowhead Stadium, while the Chiefs lost their last five in Denver. I love symmetry, and this series has it. Dating back to 1992, Kansas City has 15 wins. Denver has 14.


              this is a great series...and it does always seem to have playoff implications...

                  #5Carolina went to the NFC championship game last year; Atlanta went the year before that; Carolina was there in 2003. Yeah, this game means something. Granted, making a choice here was a close call between Carolina-Tampa Bay and Carolina-Atlanta, but the recent history of these two pushed this series over the top. Until last season Atlanta owned the Panthers, winning nine of the last 10. Then Carolina woke up and, boom, just like that we have ourselves a horse race. Gimme this rivalry because A) I believe these are the top two teams in the NFC South and B) because I believe in history. Over the last four years someone in this division reached the NFC championship game and went on to the Super Bowl twice. Oh, and one more thing: They just added Keyshawn Johnson and outspoken rookie Jimmy Williams to the equation, which means all gag orders are off. Perfect.

                  If Atlanta is any better that is...this series should be interesting...

                              Nah...not at all the case...

                              1. Seattle won a home game...

                              2. Carolina's D is superior...

                              3. Their offense was decimated...as they were using THEIR 5TH STRING RUNNING BACK!

                              The ONLY position that Seattle excels in over Carolina in that instance was QB...

                              and circumstance...

                                  Cincy has surpassed Baltimore and even Cleveland for top rivalry in the division...

                                  It's gonna get downright nasty, it should be great....

                                  Don't forget after the Super Bowl and during the parade in downtown Pittsburgh, Cowher must've taunted Cincy about 20 times with "Who Dey" chants....

                                  Chad can talk all he wants, but he might want to at least score a touchdown against the Steelers this year....

                                          FYI: The talk around the ATL is that they're going to RULE their division again and crush the Panthers.

                                              Atlanta will never rule a thing with the joke of a quarterback...running the West Coast Offense anyways...

                                              although their fucking Defense will be spectacular...

                                              Didn't they sign Abraham?

                                              Carolina will be at the top...or near it...in the NFC...

It was just a couple of months ago when they contemplated trading Warrick Dunn and tossing TJ Duckett (he is gone, I think) during that players union cap agreement almost going bust! These boneheads wanted to get rid of Matt Schaub, too, their only suitable back-up to Michael Vick!

                                                      It's got to be something in the water down here, and that's why I buy mine bottled...
