GRAB OUR BEST Expert CFB Picks for 2012 NCAA FOOTBALL Betting! \u2014\u2013><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\nIn their last games BYU played great D, but still lost 7-6 to a ranked Boise State team and Hawaii was embarrassed losing at home 69-24 to Nevada.<\/p>\n
On the young season Hawaii is 1-2 ATS and they have an Over\/Under record of 1-1 and BYU is 2-2 ATS with an Over\/Under record of 1-2.<\/p>\n
The Warriors do not have a good passing offense or rushing offense and they have only scored 34 points in their 2 games, both losses, facing D1 teams. QB Sean Schroeder has nearly 600 passing yards with 6 TD, but he also has 4 INT. He has a decent, at best, WR corps and for Hawaii to have any chance to win this game he will have to play well. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
Will Gregory has played pretty well so far this season and averaged at least 4.8 yards per game in the games facing USC and Nevada. However, he will have a tough time running the ball facing BYU and their 9th ranked rushing defense.<\/p>\n
While BYU does not have a dynamic offense at least they are well balanced ranking 73rd in the nation in passing yards per game and 81st in rushing yards per game.<\/p>\n
Starting Cougars’ QB Riley Nelson had 3 picks in the loss to Boise State and was yanked in favor of backup Taysom Hill, who led BYU to a TD. Nelson has a back injury and Hill may get the starting nod in this game.<\/p>\n
After averaging over 4 yards per carry in his first 2 games RB Michael Alisa has averaged less than 4 yards per carry in his last 2 games. I look for him to get back on track facing a Hawaii run defense that gave up 355 rushing yards in their loss to Nevada.<\/p>\n
In some betting trends for this non conference game Hawaii is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall, 2-7 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games, and they have an Over record of 5-2 in their last 7 games.<\/p>\n
BYU is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games, and they have an Under record of 6-2 in their last 8 home games.<\/p>\n
Jason’s Pick:<\/strong> Even giving 27.5 points I have to go with BYU, as their D will stymie the Warriors and Hawaii’s weak offense will give up a ton of points yet again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hawaii vs BYU Odds & Prediction BYU has lost their last 2 games, but they are back at home where they are 2-0 this season.
