Vanderbilt at Hawaii picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawaii 28, Vanderbilt 26
Cash line
HAWAII (+250) misplaced QB Chevan Corderio to convention rival San Jose State by way of the switch portal, and it has to interchange its prime 2 receivers, too. The offense would possibly take a while to jell. Nevertheless, the Rainbow Warriors characterize a powerful worth on their house subject.
Vanderbilt (-320) was favored twice final season, going 1-1 SU. It hasn’t been favored on the highway since Oct. 27, 2018, a win at Arkansas, however the Commodores have been significantly better again then.
Towards the unfold
HAWAII +7.5 (-108) catching 7 and the hook may be very engaging. Vanderbilt -7.5 (-112) has didn’t cowl its final 4 video games as a favourite in opposition to FBS opponents. And Hawaii is 6-1 ATS in its final 7 video games within the month of August, so there’s that.
Over/Underneath
The OVER 53.5 (-115) is price taking part in frivolously, though you doubtless can count on a sluggish begin from each of those groups earlier than the offense picks up the tempo within the second half.
We could possibly be in line for a wild end within the closing recreation of Week 0. However this isn’t the June Jones run-and-shoot offense and the halcyon days of Hawaii soccer. Colt Brennan isn’t strolling via that door. Timmy Chang isn’t stroll…effectively, he’s, however as head coach.
