The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors are absolutely dreadful on both sides of the ball, and oddsmakers are telling you what they think of them with this line. However, let’s not act like the Fresno State Bulldogs are world beaters out here, as they have an offense that can’t finish drives and their defense has issues against the run. Also, Hawaii has seen each of its last 3 losses be decided by 1 score. Fresno State should win comfortably, but this is a lot of points for a team that has trouble scoring. Give me Hawaii and the points.
