Fresno State vs San Jose State Prediction

You can argue Fresno State is the more talented team, but I’m not backing a team that’s lost 6 straight games, which includes a loss to Cal State Bakersfield as a double-digit favorite. San Jose State isn’t in great shape either, but in all 4 of its recent losses, the Spartans weren’t expected to do much. Utah State, San Diego State and others are in different classes. San Jose State is at home, where 4 of its 5 wins this season have come. Home court is probably the difference here. I’ll lay the bucket with San Jose State.

Randy Chambers's Pick: San José State -1.5
