Sorry, the hatred is there for pretty much all teams in the division. Not really the case in the NFC North.

Cowboys and Redskins > Packers and Bears
Cowboys and Eagles > Packers and Vikings
Giants and Eagles > Bears and Vikings

---

Cowboys and Giants > Packers and Lions
Eagles and Redskins > Bears and Lions
Redskins and Giants > Vikings and Lions

Not really anything to really even argue about.

Are you kidding me? The two longest running series in the NFL are in the NFC North. The Bears and the Packers and the Lions and the Packers. The hatred and rivalries are as old as the hills. It's not our fault the Lions organization has been a sub-par high school after school program for so many years. No offense to Lions fans as I feel your pain. For the most part, the division didn't get much of a start until the 60s. The NFC North got its start in the 1910s and 20s. If you go talk to some old man in Green Bay or Chicago they'll be ready to throttle you in a heartbeat if you talk ill of their teams in favor of the other one. History is on the side of the NFC North.

As far as I'm concerned with who I hate more, it goes as such...

Right now I've hated the Vikes the most for the last ten years or so considering the two teams have been the most evenly matched over that period of time. Then come the bears as they've had a few competitive years since 1985 and even another SB appearance. Right now considering the state of the organization it's hard to have much vigor in my hate for them. To me Lovey telling us his priority every year is to beat the Packers just doesn't instill much rage in me. He doesn't fire me up in the least. Of course, neither does McCarthy for that matter. The Lions bring up the rear for obvious reasons. I really wish there was a way to make Ford sell the team to bring in a group that will transform the organization into a competitive team. Not gonna happen, though.
