In the late 70s and early 80s, it was Skins/Dallas (and to a lesser extent Steelers/Oilers).

In the late 80s it could be argued it was Giants/Niners and/or Giants/Skins.

In the early-mid 90s, it was Dallas/Niners.

In the late 90s, it was Packers/Niners (and Bucs/Packers to a lesser extent).

Throughout most of the 2000s it was Pats/Colts (and to a lesser extent Ravens/Steelers).

Now? Ravens/Steelers still? Jets/Pats? Will one emerge this year like Pats/Broncos or Giants/Packers? Maybe Dallas/Giants?
 
Steelers-Ravens is by far the best now.

But all the NFC East combinations are great, as are Bears/Packers, Broncos/Raiders, Patriots/Jets, etc.

I like the more cross-conference and division rivalries, that often include the Cowboys like the Steelers, Packers, and 49ers. Great history there, like the Giants/49ers, Steelers/Raiders, Colts/Pats, etc.
 
I like Harbaugh/Schwartz, personally.

Now...

Ravens/Steelers @ Best in NFL

Cowboys/Giants @ Best in NFCE (just to add to the Game-1 buildup :D)

Meanwhile here in 2012 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ravens & Steelers probably.

ravens/steelers, jets/patriots

no way in my mind is giants/cowboys a good rivalry because the last five years it has been one sided with giants winning seven of the last ten times and convincing wins at that.
 
Ravens and Steelers is great just because of the defenses, but take it back a few years and those Colts Pats match ups trumped absolutely everything.

I still love watching a little Packers Bears action too

49ers/Saints.

This will definitely be a heated rivalry for the foreseeable future. Saints/Falcons has always been one of the more underrated NFL rivalries, especially the last 5 years or so. As of now, I say Pittsburgh/Baltimore is at the top though.
 
right now its Ravens and Steelers. But the Giants and cowboys arnt far behind. never know whos going to win those games.

Colts/Pats were great - will miss that.

for now

Yep. Outside of Cowboy games the Steeler/Raven games are the games I look forward to the most.

Second, IMO, would be Patriots/Steelers.
