ARIZONA BOWL: San Jose State vs. Ball State

Location: Arizona Stadium - Tucson, AZ

Television: CBS

Radio: 860 AM (KTSB) Fremont/SF, streaming audio on TuneIn

It isn’t the first time two high-caliber teams with no series history have met.

But here, there is enough frame of reference and relative comparisons to reasonably derive an outcome, depending how you want to slice and contrast the differences.

The short analytical line: ESPN, Sporting News, and FanDuel all favor San Jose State (7-0) 63% over the Ball State Cardinals (6-1). Their expectation is about a double-digit win for the Spartans.
