Hawaii: Nick Rolovich is in his first season as head coach at Hawaii and he's touted as an offensive wizard. However, the Hawaii offense hadn't done much before last Saturday night's 38-17 home win over Nevada. QB Ikaika Woolsey completed 9-of-18 passes for 205 yards with four TDs in the team's lone previous win, 41-36 over UT-Martin on September 11 but had struggled in Hawaii's three losses. Dru Brown took over at QB last Saturday in Hawaii's MWC opener and completed 15 of 18 passes for 222 yards with two TDs. RB Diocemy Saint Juste had a career-high 205 yards rushing, as the Rainbow Warriors piled up season highs of 344 yards rushing and 566 total yards. The Hawaii defense entered the game having allowed 49.2 PPG on 535.5 YPG but held Nevada to 17 points on 397 yards.

San Jose State: The Spartans were one of three 5-7 schools to make a bowl trip last year (all three won), beating Georgia State 27-16 in the Cure Bowl. However, they are just 1-4 to open the current season, beating only FCS school Portland State, 66-35. QB Potter has an 8-3 TD-to-INT ratio and the RB duo of Zigler (311 yards on 6.2 YPC) and Cooper (297 yards on 4.3 YPC) is solid. The San Jose State defense allows 41.2 PPG on 484.0 YPG. QB Potter returned last week after missing the previous game with an injury and while the Spartans' D couldn't handle the New Mexico offense in a 48-41 loss (allowed 446 rushing yards on 7.0 YPC), Potter played well, going 16 of 29 for 314 yards with three TD passes.

The pick: I played on and won with Hawaii at home last Saturday, as the Rainbow Warriors were in a nice spot. However, the shoe is on the other foot here in San Jose. Let's not forget how bad the Hawaii defense is, just because Nevada played a poor game in ‘paradise' last Saturday night. Hawaii is back on the mainland and Hawaii was 1-7 ATS in MWC games last year. Meanwhile San Jose St has gone 8-2 ATS a favorite the last two seasons and is favored for the first time in 2016 in this one. San Jose State is a 10* play.
