    Why is Hawaii only laying 3 at Utah State?
    Hawaii has been impressive winning their last 4 games including winning big at Fresno State 49-27 and just last week upsetting #19 Nevada 27-21,so why is this line only at -3?In my opinion this line should be between -8 or -9,not only at -3.So what are your guys opinions on this?

    You can never be too sure about what hawaii team will show up when playing away from the big island. Sometimes it seems just as rough on them to travel inland as it is for teams like nevada to travel to them. Like hawaii in this spot as well but not willing to lay too much on it.

          Hawaii is usually a horrible road team. Fresno has honestly been one of the few road wins that they have had in the past couple years.

              Are you really looking for reasons the line is low?

              Or do you want me to just say "it's okay, go ahead and take Hawaii"


              I am going with the latter. Hawaii -3 here

                  I too was just about to post a thread about this low line in favor of Hawaii. I was impressed by the Hawaii D in stopping the pistol offense of Nevada. They also beat a Fresno team on the road. This UH team is now gelling and making a statement on offense. The UH defense is hit and miss at times but does come thru once in a while. They are now up against a 2-4 Utah St. team.

                  I think the road losing trend of UH is playing into the line being so low. I don't think there is any let down factor. We are just happy to be alive and not at the bottom of the conference like everyone predicted. LA. Tech and fresno both bounced Utah St. and I feel that the BYU win was a fluke, BYU isn't that great this year either. Hawaii has made strides to get better game after game. They really should have won some of the games they lost earlier in the season as they were competitive but fell apart in the end. Our Special teams play is horrible and got us into trouble many times this year. In all, I believe that UH will cover. I'm a homer but I really do think UH will cover.

                      it's probably because people are thinking this is a letdown spot for the warriors

                          Utah St is a scrappy team and have played well against good competition this year. Oklahoma comes to mind without looking at the rest of their games. That line is low because Vegas wants action on Hawaii. Utah St may win this game outright. I wouldn't go betting the mortgage payment on Hawaii.

                            Love Hawaii -3. Besides the Utah St playing good at home. I cant see any reason Hawaii doesnt cover.

                              Cool weather with good shot of rain awaits the boys from the sunny warm beaches of Hawaii and could be your great equalizer. This weather will feel balmy to the home team but cold as hell to the visitor. Cloudy with temps forecast upper 40's. Add some wet rain and maybe a little wind in there and you have some shivering Hawaiians that don't want to be out there.

                              but as they say, got a hunch, bet a bunch. good luck with your Hawaii bets!

                                  Because Utah State seems like an obvious play with Hawaii traveling to the mainland following a big upset win.

                                    Now I'm all confused. I thought Hawaii was the obvious play. With the way they have been playing.

                                      Its cold in Utah.
                                      Might be rain as well making it cold and miserable and Hawaii is a passing team.

                                      If you play Fantasy college, you gottta get the Hawaiian wide outs, they kick ass.

                                      But, now that you mention it, I might get me some of that Utah State.

                                        Gamblers often look to fade teams going on a long road trip after a big win at home.

                                        Beating Nevada will be the biggest game of the year for Hawaii, so yes they are setup for the stereotypical "let down" game.

                                        I don't care though, the numbers tell me Hawaii.

                                          Pretty sure it is strictly because of the road woes though surprisingly line isn't moving. So maybe it is warranted.

                                            I didn't get that one either. Hawaii looks like the real deal this season. Maybe the line is this low because of how they choked the Colorado game away.

                                              If Nevada plays the 1H at all Hawaii doesn't win. It took a lot of things to go wrong for NV and right for HI to win that game. I don't think many people saw the game and realize how close Nevada was to stealing it back. They have a good run defense and were able to control the ground game of Nevada but their pass Def is shaky as well as special teams, if Colin could hit a receiver at all in the 1H they were open and points were left off the board towards the end of the half.

                                              Hawaii is notoriously bad on the road and the books are saying...show us your not and cover this weak ass line, so we shall see...this line should be closer to 7 than 3. USU has lost some players to injury that would've made this more competitive so I expect the bows to win, but that's assuming they play how their capable of. Just like everyone expected Nevada to roll last week, they are expecting the same from Hawaii butfor anyone who knows the WAC you shouldn't be so confident.

                                              ...and yes I'm a Wolf Pack fan and have an idea what I'm talking about - or think I do

                                                Utah State is obvious play in sense that this is huge letdown spot for Hawaii. Besides just playing their Super Bowl, Hawaii has never traveled well.

                                                            I looked at this game yesturday and again this morning and I really like Hawaii in this spot. I understand that in the past Hawaii has not played well on the road but with two big wins against Army and Fresno State I think that they should be able to handle utah State on the road by more than a touchdown. Not to mention the big win that they just had against a very good Nevada team, Utah State is coming off a very bad loss to a very bad La Tech team (3-4). Hawaii has the number 1 passing offense that will be going against the number 86th worst defense in the country right now. I am big on stats and not so much on records and this is a scary one for Utah State. I think people are giving Utah State way too much credit here, in large part to the big win over BYU. This will probably be a pretty big play for myself on Hawaii. BOL which ever way you go.

Oklahoma comes to mind without looking at the rest of their games. That line is low because Vegas wants action on Hawaii. Utah St may win this game outright. I wouldn't go betting the mortgage payment on Hawaii.

                                                                Agreed. Utah St is my best bet on the board this week. I like Utah St at home regardless, but the frequent flier miles Hawaii is racking up as the season goes on are now going to start taking their toll.

As a Hawaii fan I will say that long road trips like the one earlier this year are a factor, but they're only playing in Utah. And historically they'reare a bad road team but the last 5 years have been a different story. I think the warriors roll. **** the fishy line I'm going big like I did last week against Nevada.

Last week against Nevada we had a great three quarters of football but towards the middle of the fourth, I'm not sure if they were taking it easy or if they were running out of gas. Had Nevada not thrown that interception, we very well could have lost that game at the end. Now that we are traveling again, I for one believe that weather certainly is a factor here. Forty degrees weather game day would definitely be an issue. Like I said, I'm just not sure which Hawaii team is going to show up. I hope it's the one that has been winning so when we take on Boise, we can at least be in that game some how because of our aggressive defense.
