Although Hawaii is traveling to Texas, Frisco, near Dallas, is very far from Houston.
Nobody cares on Christmas Eve. But to Hawaii, a team only recently breaking in to bowl team
status outside of their home state's Hawaii Bowl. They will be hungrier. Houston is vulnerable,
and with the linebackers out, expect redshirt So. dual threat Cordiero to have success.
Hawaii Rainbow Warriors
No significant injuries. tbd but not expected significant Covid.

Houston Coach has said 15-20 players will sit out for either Covid
or because they are NFL draft prospects and don't want to risk injury.
Temperature: 50-55 degrees, 10-25 mph winds. Sunny
Line opened at 11, but went to 9.5 on the Stuard and outs news.
Still, the public is on Houston. They think Houston will win because it's in Texas
and are making too much of any weather issue which won't be important.
What's important is all in Hawaii's favor.
Bought to 11 only because it's a pay-for the ML bet. ML bet just as big.
