Before making any Hawaii vs. Memphis picks or college football predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,600 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also entered the second week of the 2021-22 college football bowl season on a 43-30 run on all top-rated college football side picks. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.
The model knows Memphis owns the longest current streak of bowl appearances among all non-Power 5 teams in the nation. The Tigers are 6-8 all-time in bowl games but ended their string of five consecutive losses by defeating Florida Atlantic 25-10 in last year's Montgomery Bowl. Quarterback Seth Henigan has had a fantastic freshman season, throwing for 3,322 yards with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
The model also knows Hawaii possesses an 8-6 record in bowl games, including a 5-4 mark in the Hawaii Bowl. The Rainbow Warriors are the reigning champions of the game, as they got past BYU 38-34 in 2019 before the 2020 contest was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Hawaii also will have a freshman under center as Brayden Schager gets the call after Chevan Cordeiro announced earlier this month that he elected to transfer to San Jose State.
Now the model has simulated Memphis vs. Hawaii 10,000 times, and the results are in. We can tell you that the model is leaning Over on the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits over 60 percent of the time. You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in your own picks.
