Great piece from Jason Lisk over at the Big Lead, ranking all 48 divisional rivalries based on how often games are close, how often they are important, how often there are upsets, and how long the rivalry has lasted. Baltimore-Pittsburgh is No. 1 because of four playoff meetings and a lot of close games. Giants-Eagles, Chiefs-Raiders, and surprisingly, Jets-Dolphins follow. Dead last is Baltimore-Cleveland, although there's an emotional component to that one that didn't really make it into the formula. (The real least interesting rivalry is probably No. 47, Indianapolis-Houston.)
