agree to a certain point Cal can and may blow a crappy Hawaii team but looking at stats Cal at a neutral site are like 1-4 ATS in the past 5 years, Hawaii has covered 6 of the past 7 vs Pac-12 (and mind you Hawaii team has sucked for at least 5-6 years. So will Cal win and may also cover but That long flight to Australia will hurt more for Cal than Hawaii I just feel its too many points but of course I did only pay 2 units on Hawaii.

What incentive does either of these teams have to kill themselves in this contest?

Both squads travel a long way to play in front of fans who prefer rugby and futbol. Not that anything is wrong with either. But, there will be few true college football fans in attendance supporting either team.

Cal is starting a very unseasoned transfer from Texas Tech. Last season the guy passed 41 times, completing 22 of them, with 2 TDs and no INT. Rainbows are starting a guy who threw 149 times, completing 73 of them. Five TDs, but 6 INTs. Mind you, Cal is no longer playing with the badass receiving corps they had last season.

Cal travels nearly 7500 miles back home and in two weeks must go down to San Diego to play a very good Aztecs squad. Hawaii sacks up and heads off to Ann Arbor, the very next week. Seems to me if Cal can get out to a lead, say 21 points or so, they get the second stringer some reps. Hawaii, well it's hard to say, but I think they struggle to score more than 20.

For these reasons, and others unstated, looks to me like the Under on the Total (currently at 64.0) is the best play.

Best case scenario final score prediction: Cal 35 / Rainbows 20. Best of luck with whatever you play

Cal vs HawaiiCal is in Australia now, they left Berkeley on Wednesday, a day ahead of the Warriors (smart move).  Both teams biggest weaknesses is on the Defensive side of the ball.  Davis Webb, Cal&#x27;s new QB, started his Freshman and Sophomore years at Texas Tech, with over 200 attempts in those years, and better than 61% completions.  The new Offensive Coordinator for Cal, is from Texas Tech, they&#x27;ll be slinging that ballaround.  Where as the Rainbow Warriors, will be relying on 3 RB&#x27;sand their QB&#x27;s running ability (9 returning starters on offense including QB for Hawaii).Cal-20 is a safe bet.  I&#x27;ve got to do more thinking about the Total.  I liked the Over when it was 61.
