Brady and Belichick hate the jets more than anyone else. I'm sure the other guys just get tired of hearing Jets folk running their yaps.

The Steelers and Ravens matchups are glorified bar fights.

Both rivalries are pretty lopsided, to me that kind of spoils both. Ravens cannot beat Ben, and though the Jets are a bit closer record-wise, they have never gotten the better of us since BB's first year, while we have swept them or 2-1'd them multiple times. I'd give the slight edge to Balt-Pitt since their games are alot closer usually and more physical.

Ravens and Jets have their chance Sunday to turn it around but I don't see it happening for either team. Even Pats/Steelers has been one-sided, really the only great rivalry right now is Pats/Colts but Indy is falling fast.

It actually goes back to the Steelers / Colts of the 70's. Different teams, but I remember those games, they were hard hitting games, and the Steelers had to get past Baltimore in the playoffs for 2 of their superbowls.

Seahawks/ Bears! Second to none! Goes way back to 2010.

In my opinion, the recent Baltimore versus Pittsburgh rivalry is comparable to Miami versus New York in the NBA during the nineties. That is, the aggressive nature in which these teams usually played defense. But I can see how some fans might not view either the Jets versus New England or Baltimore versus Pittsburgh as a true rivalry. What you see today are a lot of individual personalities talking smack or jarring back-and-forth through the media. One particular aspect of a true rivalry often time pertains to two teams that have players who collectively dislike the opposing players and playing against them. Sometimes, this develops over time by playing against each other on a regular basis. Unfortunately, you don't have that as much in the NFL as you do in the NBA. Unless, you've teams such as the Jets and New England this season playing against each other for a third time in the playoffs.

I know for myself, I only care about the Patriots. On the other hand, due to certain match-ups in the playoffs, I find myself wanting to watch other playoff games, albeit not in their entirety. However, I felt disinterested in the games last weekend. Even the Jets at Indianapolis game seem to lack something.

I hope this weekend's games are worthwhile.
