The last game on the Week 0 slate has seen a lot of line movement. SBR's Brendan Schaeffer takes a look in his early Stanford vs Hawaii prediction.
Hawaii -2.5 (-108 DraftKings)
"While Bill Connelly’s SP+ rankings see Stanford as the more competent team by a healthy margin, the road aspect when traveling to the island absolutely comes into play when analyzing a matchup like this one.
Hawaii was 6-1 against the spread in home games last season, demonstrating the inherent benefit against opponents traveling across several time zones. Stanford endured a gauntlet from a travel perspective with its ACC schedule last season, perhaps contributing to the Cardinal’s 2-4 ATS record in road games.
While Timmy Chang’s run-and-shoot offensive philosophy hasn’t impressed in recent years for Hawaii, this year’s personnel could start with a bang against a Stanford defense that ranked 129th out of 134 FBS teams in pass defense a year ago.
For as long as this spread still sits below the key number of -3, we want to be aggressive on Hawaii as a four-star recommendation in our Stanford vs. Hawaii early predictions."
