Just remember the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I always felt all 3 NFC East teams Washington, Philadelphia, New York hate the Cowboys the most. Then it seems Philly-NYG is the 2nd best rivalry and Philly-Washington, Washington-New York are hated rivalries, but not as much as Dallas.

Its like that for my Patriots. All 3 other AFC East teams hate New England the most. The only AFC East team this Pats fan fears or gets juiced up for are the Jets games because while they haven't squat since 1968 they atleast beat us occasionally unlike the Dolphins/Bills who the past 20 years haven't done much to scare me. When I was a young kid Bills-Dolphins was the best rivalry in the division, but no more.

If the Giants hadn't beaten the Patriots in these past 2 Super Bowls I think they would be a closer friendship between the franchises/fanbases. I have to tip my cap to the Giants as they are the only team Tom Brady doesn't have a better than .500 record against since 2001. Both franchises have coaching connections with Bill Parcells and Bill Bellichick and the ownership groups Kraft and Mara are both powerful in the NFL.

I compare the divisions like

NY Giants-New England- top brands in each division
Philadelphia-NY Jets- both green teams in the shadows of NYG/NE with their titles
Dallas-Miami- both have titles in the past, but are always mediocre it seems.
Washington-Buffalo- teams that have struggled the past decade, but have god histories.
