Fresno State at Hawaii odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Fresno State 41, Hawaii 27
Money line
Fresno State (-410) will cost you more than four times your potential return, and that’s dangerous even for a talented side like the Bulldogs. Trips to the islands can go sideways for teams.
AVOID, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread
FRESNO STATE -10.5 (-115) are a good bet to bounce back after a surprisingly close shave against UNLV last week. The Bulldogs have a tremendous offense with QB Jake Haener, WR Jalen Cropper, RB Ronnie Rivers, etc.
Look for Fresno State to roll up plenty of offense in the islands and grab the cover.
Over/Under
OVER 64.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit play as this Fresno State offense has been on fire. The Bulldogs are averaging 42.0 PPG, which ranks 13th in the nation, and they’re third overall with 397.6 passing yards per outing. This team can put up points in rather quick fashion, too.
