Long Beach State 49ers vs Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors prediction
The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but I’m not buying it. Long Beach State Beach has been the better team this season overall, it beat Hawaii a month ago, and it’s a team that’s won 8 games on the road. Hawaii is also just 9-16 ATS this season. Long Beach State Beach has been far more impressive as a Big West contender, and getting it in the underdog spot here feels like a steal. I want the free bucket.
