In the spirit of last weeks post. We will be looking at the next best rivalries. It's important to state that this list isn't about the all time greatest rivalries but the best rivalries out there today.
10. Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins
Many debate that these two franchises hold the best rivalry of all-time. While the teams haven't been their best the past few years they still hate each other just as much. Last year's finale ignited a fire once again. While the Redskins got the best of the Cowboys winning the East, RG3's injury concerns could give the Cowboys a much need head start this upcoming season.
9. San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams
This is an old rivalry that used to be two California based teams. Few teams have gotten the better of the 49ers last year. The Rams did twice. Yes, technically these teams tied one game but the Rams were a much lesser talented team than the 49ers. However, Jim Harbaugh was out-coached, leaving question if Fisher really is the best coach in the division.
8. Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts
For many years Houston was second to Indianapolis, but the past two seasons Houston has been atop of the South. It seemed the the Colts would have a long rebuilding time frame but Andrew Luck has already made them a playoff team. Houston is strong but they have many weakness that Luck and the Colts are ready to exploit.
7. Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots
The past two AFC Championships featured these two teams. The first saw a last second Patriot win while the second saw a Raven win. It wouldn't be out of the question to see another Raven/Patriot championship game.
6. Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers
The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers seem to always fight it out with their tough defenses. These two teams and fans hate each other. While Pittsburgh hasn't had the best season last year they still will fight for the division against a Ravens team that doesn't look quite the same from last year.
