    LOOKING FOR SOME QUALITY INPUT ON BYU at HAWII

    Anyone have any input they would like to share on this game, so I can get make a better rational decision if I want to play this game or not. Right now I am totally focused on BYU winning this game, as they are better than Hawaii at the moment in every phase of the game.

    must win game for hawaii if they want to go bowling, big Rivalry, senior night, head coach is playing for his job (lose and hes gone), espn, vacation for BYU (loss doesnt hurt them)

    with all that being said, im laying off bc hawaii SUCKS and more importantly, cheats

    Hey there..I'm a HUGE BYU fan here. I think a little of your bet should depend on if Riley Nelson plays versus Jake Heaps (QB) I'm not sure Nelson has been cleared to play yet, but he gives them a different look since he is a running QB. If he were starting I'd say lay the money on the Cougs..Heaps has played pretty well the last couple games but they were against crap teams.. IMO he is risky to bet on.

    What other info do you want?

    Hawaii couldn't handle fresno state who is soft this year. Byu will roll. Plus Byu players won't be out partying in Hawaii like other teams

    BYU is the play here. I bought down to 7 earlier when it was 7.5, but I think they win this by 10+. BYU has really come around since the early/mid part of the season. They have mostly played weak competition, but they have done what good teams are supposed to do versus bad teams (kick the sh it out of them). Most people have forgotten about BYU because of their poor start to the season, but this is the same team that lost by 10 to TCU on a neutral field, and we all know TCU went on to beat Boise. Anything can happen, but BYU is by far the better team and has really come around as of late. Lay the points, this one won't be pretty.

    The 3rd string quarterback will be starting for Hawaii.

    Would also like to thank everyone who has contributed on this thread I started, as it is much appreciated!

    Hawaii looked pretty pathetic last week and for the season as a whole. I kind of doubt a win here will keep them from being snubbed for a bowl game. I only watched the first half last week, but the larger point I would add to those raised above about their QB situation is that they couldn't stop Tulane from scoring... I think you're probably looking at a 17pt+ win here, to be honest.

    Lay the pts. UH has no defense and their offense is not consistent. Home crowd will not be a factor as we are all fed up with their poor performance thru the season. Hell, the student section has remained empty for the past 3-4 games and their tix are included in their tuition. No one really cares if our coach gets fired. Lay the pts, I got -7.

    Ebelisle is correct. Stay away!!!! I have watched a couple of last game of the season games @ Hawaii where the opposing team is on vacation instead of playing football. I can actually see Hawaii covering here, because BYU is not that good of team. Although there offense is clicking as of late. I just think its a no play type game, but good luck to you.

    ouch hawaii is a live dog here in my opinion. Would really be surprised to see hawaii win a huge game that makes them bowl eligible for the hawaii bowl? Also think of the revenue lost if hawaii doesnt win outright?
    Byu is not playing for anything! just saying scary bet lol

    I'm not playing this game but good luck with your bet.

    Born and raised in hawaii and will always cheer for them but had to take BYU in this one. Hawaii will most likely be starting their 3rd string quarter back Graves who has been very inconsistent with his passing. BYU's defense has been pretty solid all season giving up an average of 20pts per game. That with the fact that Hawaii NEVER plays well on ESPN is the reason why i'm rolling with BYU. As much as I want hawaii to make it to a bowl game I don't see that happening.

    Even if UH did end up winning this game, I wouldn't spend $ just ti see them get smoked on Xmas eve in the Hawaii bowl. I think many other home fans share the same feelings. 45 min before kick off and the parking lot isn't filled. Lots of BYU fans from across the ocean and their Hawaii campus. Not much of a home field advantage today.

    Steelers by 7 I dont know, good luck. If BYU covers Id see how Pitt is looking at the half and possibly hedge. Id hedge anyway though, good luck.

    I am very confident in the Steelers for many reasons. You might want to go to the NFL section and read the thread on this game that I started. Also, it is not a matter of if BYU covers, as THEY WILL cover!
