My best Cal vs. Hawaii player props for tonight's Hawaii Bowl feature Jacob De Jesus, Micah Alejado, and Kendrick Raphael. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET on Christmas Eve from Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu (ESPN), with Hawaii favored by 1.5.

I highlight why I expect both passing attacks to have a lot of success, though it is ultimately Raphael who I anticipate getting most of the scoring opportunities as part of our college football predictions this week.

Jacob De Jesus Over 89.5 receiving yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

De Jesus leads Cal with 99 receptions (52 more than any other Golden Bear), 892 yards, and five receiving touchdowns. He also has at least 96 yards in three consecutive games.

Cal ranks dead-last nationally with just 76.5 rushing yards per game. And while Hawaii isn’t bad at defending the pass, Cal should have no problem throwing in this game, as the Rainbow Warriors are still allowing 218.0 passing yards per game.

Micah Alejado Over 254.5 passing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cal’s pass defense is ranked fourth in the ACC, but a lot of that success has to do with how easy it was for teams to run against them, as they’re allowing 161.9 rushing yards per game. However, Hawaii doesn’t run much, and Alejado has at least 256 yards in six of his last seven games.

Alejado has topped 300 yards four times this season, and he’s topped 400 yards twice. Our Isaiah Sirois targets Alejado as a long shot in his Cal vs. Hawaii anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

Kendrick Raphael to score 2+ touchdowns (+175) ⭐⭐⭐

Raphael leads Cal with 13 total touchdowns, and he’s scored at least twice in three games this season. Raphael has found the end zone in seven of his last eight games, which is why his price to score once is -250.

Hawaii has allowed just 14 passing touchdowns this season, third-fewest in the Mountain West, but 16 rushing touchdowns.
