Spread Pick for Sam Houston State vs. Hawaii
- Sam Houston State Bearkats +6.5 (4 Units)
The Bearkats lost their first two games, while the Rainbow Warriors split their first two games. Sam Houston State has the edge here because they were able to run the ball effectively in their first two games, and they’re going up against a defense that has been unable to stop the run and is giving up more than 160 rushing yards per game.
The Rainbow Warriors won’t be as successful offensively because they’re one-dimensional offensively, with a decent passing game and one of the worst ground games in the nation. This will allow the Bearkats to keep pressure on Alejado and force him to make costly mistakes. Take Sam Houston State to cover the spread.
