The NFL at 1 PM: Interconference Strangers and Teams That Don't Like Each Other

The 1:00 block of games features five division rivalries. Everyone is adequately familiar with the anomosity between the Jets and the Patriots, but the Chiefs-Raiders matchup in Kansas City shouldn't be overlooked. Although they're far removed from their glory days, this is a rivalry of teams and not men. Here are the five divisional games from the early schedule.

Vikings at Lions

Texans at Titans

Raiders at Chiefs

Patriots at Jets

The early slate also features four inter-conference games. None of these teams are even geographical rivals, which arguably adds to the intrigue. It's like...well, did you ever see 'The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones'? The Jetsons and the Flintstones were in the same movie, and even though you were a little kid when you saw it, you did a double-take because it just didn't seem right to see these two elements on the same screen. Enjoy these four direct-to-video Hanna-Barbara cartoons, also starting at 1 PM:
