The playoffs are upon us, and after breaking down each matchup, checking the spreads in detail and placing bets on the over/under of Tim Tebow completions against the Steelers (5?), we only have one last thing to determine: Which teams have the hottest cheerleaders?
We have to immediately eliminate four teams because they don't believe in ear-to-ear smiles and jazz hands on their sidelines. The Steelers, Packers, Lions and Giants don't have cheer squads, so they're out. That leaves eight teams to face off playoff style to determine which team has the hottest cheerleaders rooting them on.
Get ready to cheer on your favorite ladies and see where those who rep your favorite team land as we break it down.

The New England Patriots cheerleaders are tough. It can't be easy wearing as little as possible in the New England winter months. Unfortunately, it also means they're wearing more than the other cheerleaders on this list.
7. Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders are straight fit. But they also have that Ravens' style of football--nose-to-the-ground, hard-core style.
6. Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons squad lacks consistency, much like the team. You're only as strong as you weakest links, and in the nicest possible way, this squad has some weak links. But still, all hot, hot heat.

We really expected much more from the San Francisco 49ers crew. Eh, who are we kidding, this group works it, and works it well.

Who knew Cincinnati had this talent? Bengals found the cream of the crop.
3. New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints' ladies have a blonde-gold-black mix that works oh so well. Props to the Saints players for racking up crazy points on the field and crazy boner points on the sidelines.
2. Denver Broncos

There must be something in that Denver mile high air. These ladies bring the full package, from head to toe. Maybe they've been blessed by Tim Tebow?
1. WINNER: Houston Texans

The Houston Texans' cheerleaders are as hot as their city's weather. Hard stomachs, curves for days and that natural gift of making you feel like they aren't only cheering for their team, they are cheering for you.
