NFL.com news: Top 12 games to look forward to in 2012 campaign


Personally i don't see how they can predict this before the draft, preseason or as season goes along. Alot of things happen, like injuries, that could make a tasty looking game beforehand turn out to leave a sour taste in your mouth.

The Giants and Niners have a history that travels not only through time, but geographically.

I find it fitting for this years number one match-up to be between the two cities.

Only revived because they played one of the best playoff games ever in history.

yeah, that's all that is, psh

Don't really understand the "rivalry" of the two teams. one is on the west coast and the other on the east coast. not like they are fight ing state bragging rights. hell they can't even battle to the death* for coast rights.


*sorry , to much Spartacus here lately. LOL

I would rank the rivalries as:

1) Steelers and Ravens
2) Packers and Bears
3) Cowboys and Redskins (though this is mainly from the past)
4) Chiefs and Raiders
5) Eagles and Giants


JMHO

I would add Eagles vs. Dallas, that is still a huge rivalry. Bengals and Steelers is stll a big rivalry as well.

What about Giants v Cowboys and NO v Atlanta ?

49ers v Rams was always a biggie when I was young.

Guess rivalries don't travel well.

One would think that the Pats v Jets would be a hotter ticket than it is because of the baseball rivalry. Of course that logic would also imply that the Bears v Rams should be a great battle. zzzzzzzz

Kinda makes me upset Jax doesn't have a rivalry. Doesn't make since because the Dolphins and Bucs are in the same state. Think somebody would have these three play each and every year to build up a rivalry. Rivalrys seem to build a better fan base and with Jax being in the so called small tv market, it would help alot.

Just from the 80's and 90's, the Giants and Niners have a playoff history, with the ultimate game being when the Giants somehow stopped the Niners at the Stick, preventing them from a possible third straight SB title.

The more direct connection (I wasn't aware this was about rivalries) would be the New York Football Giants and why they were once called that.
