How can you tell Michael J. needs to step his game up? When Travis Miller, who isn't even funny, is ranked higher in the humor rankings.

With one final weekend of football, there are so many teams that have the potential to make the NFL Playoffs. I decided to think of the top ten possible matchups that fans would enjoy most for this years Super Bowl. If you have time, I would love to know what you think about it! Thanks!

Michael,

Instead of studying for finals, I thought it would be fun to determine the NFL playoffs from a different perspective. If you have time, check it out and let me know what you think!
