(NCAAF) Hawaii@Rice
2* Rice +1.5
The Owls of Rice are 5-0 ATS in their history against Hawaii. Look for the Rice wishbone attack to give Hawaii fits and control the clock for most of this game, this will keep the dangerous Hawaii offense off the field for long stretches of this game which will make it harder for them to get into any kind of good rythym. Hawaii's defense was really exposed against Florida Atlantic and that was at home, Fla Atlantic moved the ball at will in that contest and totalled 445 total yards, Hawaii's defense allowed an average of 432 yards per game last year and 32 points per contest so it looks to be much of the same for this young Hawaii defense. This veteran Owls squad is poised to take advantage of this in their home opener. Hawaii has floundered in the past in similar circumstances going 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games as favorites of under 7 points. Rice on the other hand is 11-0-1 ATS in their last 12 as Conf home dogs and 7-0 ATS when they have revenge against a Conf opponent.
