Red Sox/Yankees is the more bitter rivalry in NYC. Jets/Pats isn't a rivalry as far as I could ever tell; the last real rivalry the Jets had was with the Dolphins in the 80s. The Jets have been too dysfunctional over the past decade for their fans to pay attention to any other teams, IMO.
And Giants fans can't feel anything but smug when you mention the Pats.
