The Rainbow Warriors are covering 63 percent of my simulations and winning outright 59 percent of the time. UMass has little homefield advantage, and has covered just three of its last 10 home games. I'm on Hawaii despite the long travel.
UMass went to Hawaii in the regular-season finale last year and they put on a show with 940 yards of total offense. Hawaii won 46-40, but UMass got the +7 cover. UMass went 2-10 last season, but 7-5 ATS. UMass returns eight starters on defense, but that defense allowed 35.5 ppg and 453 ypg. Hawaii's defense allows more points and yards per game, but I like their intact offense with QB Dru Brown returning better. I like Hawaii to come away with the win despite it seeming like the longest road trip ever.
