Cheerleaders of the AFC Championship Game

Today might very well be the last chapter in the best QB rivalry of the last decade or more. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have had some epic battles over the last few years, but today could very realistically be the last head-to-head battle. Which makes this game even more important for a lot of people.

For me, it's all about which cheer squad gets to make the trek to Super Bowl 50 in a couple of weeks. The Manning/Brady thing is cool and all, but this battle between the Broncos cheerleaders and Patriots cheerleaders is just as epic in my world. And I have no idea who I give the edge to!

NFL Divisional Round Cheerleader Preview: Steelers vs. Broncos

As a Kansas City Chiefs fan I find it very hard to root for the Denver Broncos. As much as I love the Broncos cheerleaders, I spent too many Sundays watching John Elway destroy my beloved team to ever really root for them. But I am going to make an exception today. I just hope 11-year old me can understand the sacrifice I'm making for the greater good here.

After all, I think 11-year old me would understand putting my allegiances behind a team that has cheerleaders over a team that doesn't. That sounds like something 11-year old me would be cool with.

The Denver Broncos Cheerleaders Have Not Lost Hope

Sure their Hall of Fame quarterback has been playing on one leg and just got benched for a guy with 0 career starts. Sure they are in danger of losing their grasp on a playoff spot that seemed pretty secure just a couple of weeks ago. None of that matters to the Denver Broncos cheerleaders. They are going to continue spreading joy and spirit all around Mile High Stadium until the last snap of the season.

As this picture proves, nothing is going to wipe the smiles off their faces. Not even being forced to cheer in the rain. Which is nice for us because there is nothing sexier than a wet cheerleader!

Denver Broncos Cheerleader Sam Brings Her Spunk to Sports Illustrated

I am a sucker for girls with really short hair. I know most guys tend to like long hair for some reason, but I think a girl that can pull off a really short hair cut is a special kind of sexy. Which is exactly why I've always been such a big fan of Denver Broncos cheerleader Sam. She can ABSOLUTELY pull off her short hair cut.

And now the good folks at Sports Illustrated have discovered Sam and rewarded her with her very own Cheerleader of the Week feature. It's about time we let someone represent for the short-haired girls!

The Denver Broncos Cheerleaders Doing Some Yoga Instruction

Yoga is just sexy by its very nature. So when you have a group of professional cheerleaders do some sort of yoga instruction it makes a for a very sexy educational time.

Which is exactly what we have with these Denver Broncos cheerleaders teaching yoga poses in their all black spandex. Makes me want to strike a Warrior Pose!

Denver Bronocs Cheerleaders Bikini Calendar Selfies

Since a vast majority of the country is freezing its ass off this Valentine's Day, I thought we'd take it back to warmer times for Cheer Selfie Saturday. So let a couple of Denver Broncos cheerleaders warm you up with a couple of behind the scenes selfies from their bikini calendar photoshoot in Mexico.

Cheerleaders of the NFL Divisional Playoffs: Colts v. Broncos

It's as if every year in the playoffs the NFL makes sure there is a good Peyton Manning storyline to work with. Either he's playing his old team in the Indianapolis Colts or he's playing his rival in Tom Brady. The conspiracy theorist in me really wants to believe this is no coincidence. Maybe the NFL is setting things up just in case Peyton makes another run to the Super Bowl.

To do that this year, though, he has to get through the heir apparent to his own throne. Andrew Luck has been superb this year. Except for the beard, of course, that thing is horrendous. But does he have enough around him to knock the Denver Broncos out of the playoffs? I guess we'll find out this afternoon!

NFL Game of the Week Cheerleader Preview: San Francisco 49ers v. Denver Broncos

Yes, I realize this is the 3rd time the Denver Broncos have appeared in our Game of the Week feature already this year. But that's not really my fault. There just aren't many games that feature two teams with winning records and awesome cheer squads. What am I supposed to do?

On the bright side, this is the first appearance by the San Francisco 49ers since last years NFC Championship Game, so at least there is a little new blood today! Niners pics are courtesy of SavoryMutt.

NFL Game of the Week Cheerleader Preview: Denver Broncos v. Seattle Seahawks

A re-match of the previous year's Super Bowl is almost always going to qualify for the NFL Game of the Week Cheerleader Preview in my book. Even if the Super Bowl was an absolute blowout!

But after last week, the mystique surrounding the Seattle Seahawks might have lost a little bit of its luster. I'm not saying the Broncos are going to walk in CenturyLink Field and put up 50 points, but I don't think this game is as much of a foregone conclusion as it may have been a week ago.

The fact that this game features 2 of the top 8 Hottest NFL Cheer Squads doesn't really hurt either!

NFL Game of the Week Cheerleader Preview: Colts v. Broncos

The NFL is finally back in our lives, and it couldn't have come at a better time. I think I was to go into withdrawal shakes. The length of the off-season is just absurd. Sure they need to time to recover from the savage beatings they take week in and week out during the season, but what about the fans? Why should we have to wait so long to see our favorite pro cheerleaders back on the sidelines? That feels like cruel and unusual punishment to me.

Fortunately the wait is over, and we get a whopper of a game for our first Sunday Night Football match-up. While the QB battle in this game is great, I have a harder time picking my favorite cheerleader between the 2 squads. So what do you think: Denver Broncos or Indianapolis Colts?

2nd Annual Ranking of the 15 Hottest NFL Cheer Squads

Last year we unveiled our first ever cheerleader rankings with our 15 Hottest NFL Cheer Squads list. The Miami Dolphins cheerleaders topped last year's list, but the top spot has been usurped by social media darlings: the Houston Texans. This has the makings of an epic rivalry because we all know that these squads are working very hard to snatch the top spot in Pro Cheerleader Heaven's rankings.

The Denver Broncos cheerleaders made the biggest jump of the year as they slide into the Top 5 from their #15 ranking last year. We also have three new entries with the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans all making their debuts in the countdown.

So take a look at my ranking and let me know what I got right and what I got wrong. I'm sure you all have opinions! You can also click on each team's name to see more pictures of these smokin' hot squads!
