With Black Friday out of the way and all of the turkey has digested, it is time for the FCS Playoffs! This is the time when everyone's bellies are empty and hungry for the championship. Even though these playoffs don't get much media attention, it is still some of the best football you will see being played this year. This might be the year that North Dakota State runs out of gas on their "Drive for Five." Jacksonville State looks like a tough, FBS level football team and they have been blowing out everyone they have played this year. Illinois State looks to be just as good as last year, if not better. McNeese State looks very dominant, as well as Dayton. There is always Sam Houston State, who looks to creep in deep into the playoffs. These teams that I have named look to be the favorites for making the Final Four of the FCS Playoffs, but really any of the teams in the bracket has a good chance to go far. I am going to go ahead and say that Jacksonville State will come away with the championship this year. Here are my predictions for the first round games being played today.
Western Illinois at Dayton (Dayton wins 20-7)
Fordham at Chattanooga (Fordham wins 32-29)
The Citadel at Coastal Carolina (Coastal Carolina wins 29-23)
Southern Utah at Sam Houston State (Sam Houston State wins 38-35)
South Dakota State at Montana (South Dakota State wins 24-19)
Duquesne at William & Mary (Duquesne wins 23-22)
Colgate at New Hampshire (New Hampshire wins 18-12)
Eastern Illinois at Northern Iowa (Northern Iowa wins 23-14)
