NFL Playoffs: Which Match-up Will Make the Best Super Bowl

Which of the final four NFL teams should play for it all?

The Final Four has been set, and it might not have been the one you were expecting. The AFC did get its top two seeds through to the championship, but over in the NFC the two best teams – or what everyone thought were the two best teams (the Packers and Saints) are gone.

That leaves this: The Baltimore Ravens (13-4) vs. the New England Patriots (14-3) on one side, and the upstart New York Giants (11-7) vs. the San Francisco 49ers (14-3) on the other. On Feb. 5 two of them will meet in Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis.

AFC and NFC Playoff Scenarios

Here's a breakdown of what each NFL team needs to make the postseason

The NFL playoffs are less than two weeks away. Which means you need more than an abacus to figure out if your team still has a chance to make the NFL postseason (we can't all be Packers fans.) So here's a breakdown of what each team that's still in the running for the playoffs needs to happen to either win their division, secure a first round bye or eke out a wild card spot to keep their dreams alive of making it to the Super Bowl.

Just because they're playing each other, Tim Tebow shouldn't be compared to Tom Brady

Stop. Please stop. OK, so Tim Tebow is having a good run. But just because the Denver Broncos are playing the New England Patriots doesn't mean that Tim Tebow is squaring off against Tom Brady.
