Is the Colts-vs.-Patriots the best rivalry in the NFL today?

To answer your question, I'd say YES. Like Don J said, its getting up there. Over the past few years this rivalry have been heating up. Every soul in New England clears their schedule whenever these two teams play, as I'm sure its the same in Indiana. They have been the best and most consistently good teams over the past few years, and everybody wants to see two powerful, evenly matched teams go head to head. Its Pats vs Colts, Belichik vs Dungy, Brady vs Manning, its beggining to feel like a classic here in New England, and its just getting better every year.\n\nI'm sure some of you will disagree, and I can appreciate that. \nThey may not have reached the level of the Redskins-Cowboys or the Bears-Packers rivalry just yet, but its only a matter of time.\n\nIf all 3 games were on tv at the same time, which game will you look forward to see? As of Nov 1st, The Redskins (2-5) and the Cowboys (4-3) are both mediocre teams still trying to find their identities. The Bears (7-0) will pound the Packers (3-4) into  submission.\n\nPatriots (6-1) vs Colts (7-0) best rivalry in the NFL TODAY?\n\nMost definitely.

A little friendly rivalry is a good thing. Most of the top teams in any football league are rivals.

It is hard to say but I would say Colts vs. Panthers.  I know it is a long shot for the Panthers but call it a gut feeling.

PEYTON MANNING IS BETTER.

The NFL puts the best Sunday matchup on Sunday night primetime...Good move that way we get to see two quality teams face off against each other

Good question. I think the only other team that could stack up against them statistically is the Steelers of the 1970's. If you ask Michael Irving however, he would say dallas of the 1990's was the greatest team ever, eventhough half of them had to split jail time with football time (Hee hee). If the Patriots of today were to play either of those two teams The Pats would win hands down and the main reason for this is the NFL is constantly getting bigger, faster and stronger each year. I doubt if a Steelers offensive line which probably averaged about 250-260 Lbs could effectively block New Englands D-Line which averages around 300lbs and whom are faster and stronger. No question the Patriots are the greatest team of at least the last twenty years...

The Colts are a great team with great work ethic as we saw from the defense when we played the pats they worked hard and helped stop the pats offense Peyton Manning is amazing and is the best QB out there right now so yeah the Colts pretty much rock

No, the Colts will not survive with Steeler this weekend.\n\nThe Patriots will win the Super Bowl.

This is a very difficult question. \n\nIf you look at both side to side it is almost like looking at Joe Montana and Dan Marino. Montana, like Brady, has the Championship rings. Also, just like Montana, Brady has constantly had great coaches and a decent cast of co-players around him. \n\nManning and Marino have not had that luxury. Both Marino and Manning are regular season statical giants. Breaking pretty much every passing record, neither seemed to have the right mix of players to get through the playoffs. Also until Dungy, Manning never really had great coaching.\n\nIn truth the answer to this opinion question lies in whether or not you feel that Championships or Records make greatness.\n\nI am of the belief that records make greatness so I would CURRENTLY choose Manning as the better of the two.\n\nHowever, Brady is still very young, so the jury is still out.

I think the Bears are. The Pats are always so full of themselves. Grossman had two bad games, now he is in line for another 4 TD performance. The run game is coming on strong. The Pats defense is without 7 starters, or was last week. Brady is going to be eating mud all day, similar to when the Jets put pressure two weeks ago. Only, the Bears pressure is coming faster and stronger. I would not be suprised if Brady walks off the field crying because the Bears are going to tear him apart. Urlacher is going to steamroll him. Brady is the real overrated player.

I don't think anyone has answered the question yet, but I think a three way tie for the most Super Bowls is nice. That makes it competitive.

the only ones that can hurt my COLTS this year are the COLTS themselves. I love 'em with every fiber of my being, but is this deja vu' or what? we've gotta BELIEVE this is their year!!!! I think the game against the Eagles should prove interesting if nothing else. GO COLTS!!!!

The Pats are 7-3.  They have a big challenge next Sunday against the Bears. \nThe Cowboys are 6-4 and beat the previously undefeated Colts today 21-14.  The Cowboys will be tied for first place in their division if the Jaguars upset the Giants on Monday night.  \nThe Patriots lead the Eastern Division by 2 games over the Jets.

I sure hope so.  The Patriots haven't played any good teams lately.  The only thing that concerns me with the Colts is that They basically will have had 4 weeks weeks with no real presure and that along with the death of coach Dungy's son I hope that they will be up to the challange.
