Even though it's between two ESPN hacks, I thought it was a pretty decent read. Not a mind-blowingly solid debate, but an entertaining one nonetheless.

Personally, I think it's no contest. Pats/Jets has more venom, more controversy, and more history behind it than Steelers/Ravens does. If the Browns are ever any good, Steelers/Ravens isn't even the hottest rivalry in it's own division.

Two of the NFL's hottest rivalries will take center stage in Week 13. Lucky for us.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will visit the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. The New York Jets then will visit the New England Patriots on Monday night. Combined record of the four teams: 34-10.
Millions of football fans will be tuned in to see both marquee matchups with superstars and storylines aplenty.
But which pairing represents the NFL's best divisional rivalry?
Each matchup has a history, quality quarterbacks and plenty at stake for the playoffs. A couple of feisty bloggers -- James Walker from the AFC North and Tim Graham from the AFC East -- will state a case for why his division has the better rivalry.
