CNN/SI has Vikings-Packers as only their #7 longtime NFL rivalry, just above Bengals-Browns and below Broncos-Raiders. Please. Ask any Packers fan, there is no way they’d rather beat the Bears than the Vikings – and yet that’s at #2!
Now, Cowboys-Redskins, I’ll give you. But Vikes-Pack is second only to that. Heck, I’d put Cowboys-Steelers above most of the “rivalries” that they listed there. They did, however, get the top new school rivalry right, as Patriots-Colts has become increasingly interesting. I would LOVE to see New England knock off a 17-0 Indianapolis team in this year’s AFC Championship game.
