Eight teams remaining teams in the NFL playoffs. All eight teams are showing signs it's in their destiny to win it all. If you have time, let me know what you think!

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!

Jason,

Is Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams becoming a serious threat to opposing teams and following the footsteps of Eagles star Brian Westbrook? Let me know what you think!

Just thought I would let you know your article bout Ball State and ESPN's lack of integrity caused me to write an article commenting on it.

Hey, Whitlock. I love you on the Jim Rome Show and undoubtedly you recall getting some e-mails when you guest host for Romey from a "Brad in southern Utah." (that's me). I just wonder what you think of a playoff in college football in all honety if your beloved Ball State Cardinals are denied. I hope that you've warmed up to the playoff idea, but regardless of whether you do or not, I'm going to be one of your fans. With the exception of your beliefs of college football, all of your takes are really good.

I know this is going to sound stupid and cliche, but I am a kid who just got out of college, and I have cited you as my biggest influence in sports writing. So it is a pleasure to see you on this site, thank you for your influence on me; and thank you for your awesome article for Fox about the LeBron James Vogue cover which actually helped me tremendously with my college thesis.

All the best.
