NFL Playoff Schedule: Super Bowl Matchups We're Dying to See

It may seem crazy, but NFL teams are just two wins away from going to Indianapolis to play in the Super Bowl. It seems like we were just ending the lockout.

Still though, it's never too early to start looking forward to the biggest game of the year. If your city doesn't have an NFL team or if your NFL team has been eliminated, you need something to root.

Here's a look at what would be the best Super Bowl matchups. That way, you have an idea of who to root for in the coming weekends. 

Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots

Really, it can't get better than this.

Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers. Golden Child vs. Golden Child. Elite MVP-caliber quarterback vs. elite MVP-caliber quarterback.

These two have pretty much been the kings of the league for the past couple of years, and it would be a real treat to see them battle it out for the championship.

Drew Brees and the Saints would also work here, but I feel like Rodgers is more of an elite quarterback in the spotlight, while Brees is an elite QB who kind of just sits back and does his thing quietly. 

No knock on Brees here. He vs. Brady would terrific, as well.

Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers

The first matchup has elite QB vs. elite QB, so why not have brother vs. brother?

These two teams matched up earlier in the season, and the two best defenses in the NFL turned it into bit of a snooze fest. This would basically be the LSU vs Alabama of the NFL.

Just add in the fact that Jim and John Harbaugh would be battling it out for family pride, too. Now that would be fun.

Denver Broncos vs. Anyone

Tim Tebow is far and away the most polarizing figure in the NFL. No figure would create more chaos by making it to the Super Bowl.

Skip Bayless might just have a heart attack if Tebow makes it to the Super Bowl, but there's no question this would simply be fun to watch.

That, and it would give us some amazing story lines and potential movies for the next 10 years. 

And even more, how great would it watch pundits inevitably still calling for Tim Tebow's job next offseason, even though he's the defending Super Bowl champ?
