Hawaii is a tough team to beat on the island. On the mainland, not so much, and the Rainbow Warriors can't be too excited about this traveling spot as they head to Frisco, Texas to take on the Houston Cougars in the New Mexico Bowl on Christmas Eve.

Note that Hawaii averaged 26.0 ppg on the season overall, but only 17.0 ppg on the road while allowing 28.0 ppg. Houston put up 38.0 ppg through its road games.

The Cougars have lost their last three bowl games, which I think will make the players all the more excited to claim this one.

Under is 4-1 in Rainbow Warriors last 5 games as an underdog. Under is 4-1 in Cougars last 5 neutral site games as a favorite.

In addition to Houston covering the spread, I also think we'll see this game go under the total.

Under is 4-1 in Rainbow Warriors last 5 games as an underdog. Under is 4-1 in Cougars last 5 neutral site games as a favorite.

8* play on UNDER.
