Ryan Tootell and Colter Nuanez go around the country to preview every game in the first round of the FCS playoffs:

Mike Gegenheimer of Houma Today on Nicholls St. (10:25)
Tom Miller of the Grand Forks Herald on North Dakota (12:46)
Randy Reinhardt of the Pantagraph on Illinois State (17:28)
John Bednarowski of the Marietta Daily Journal on Kennesaw State (25:19)

Each correspondent informs us how the team they cover looks entering the playoffs and makes a pick against the spread. Some of the matchups did not have beat writers available to talk, so Colter Nuanez does his best to fill us in on the situation surrounding those matchups.
