ARIZONA BOWL -- A battle in Tucson, Arizona will take place between Arkansas State and Nevada. Thus far in bowl season the Sun Belt has shined.

ARIZONA BOWL -- No one talks about the Sun Belt Conference and how consistently good it's been in bowl games over the last 4-5 seasons. Arkansas State is one of the more consistent teams in that regard as well. Nevada, like most Mountain West Conference teams, are solid defensively and have a really good offensive line. Its issue is that the passing game and overall cohesiveness of the offense hasn't been there throughout the season. That'll be the case again in this one against the Red Wolves.

ARIZONA BOWL -- The list of opponents hardly qualifies as a murderers’ row, but Arkansas State’s closing kick is impressive nonetheless: four straight-up wins by an average margin of 22.5 points. QB Justice Hanson is the real deal. Under coach Blake Anderson, the Red Wolves (1-3 ATS and outright) could be better in the postseason. Nevada, however, has covered in two of its last eight bowl games. And will the Wolf Pack be fully awake for a kickoff that occurs at 10:15 a.m. on their body clocks? Lay the points.
