Stanford vs. Hawaii odds analysis
After Hawaii opened as a 2.5-point underdog, the spread has flipped in its favor as the Rainbow Warriors are now favored by that same margin. With that five-point swing so far halting before reaching the key number of -3, it seems unlikely the line would shift more drastically toward the Rainbow Warriors.
Still, it’s important to remember that volatility is the name of the game in Week 0. With so little data out there on either team, additional movement cannot be confidently ruled out.

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. It's also a play that our Rob Paul gets behind in his college football Week 0 ATS picks.
