Chip Kelly has a horrible track record in nonconference games, particularly at UCLA where he's 1-5 so far. The lone cover came as a huge dog to Oklahoma, and the two times the Bruins have been favored in noncon games under Kelly they lost outright. I don't think that happens here, but with LSU looming, the Bruins will keep it pretty basic in their opener.
Now that this has risen above 17 points, I'm going to roll with the Rainbow Warriors as they bring back every single defensive starter from last year's 5-4 team that won a bowl game and seven starters on offense, including very good QB Chevan Cordeiro and all-purpose stud RB/WR/returner Calvin Turner Jr. Hawaii has won its past three true road season openers. UCLA, meanwhile, has covered just three of its past 10 at the Rose Bowl.
