The Rainbow Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in November and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Spartans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 7-3-1 in Rainbow Warriors last 11 games overall. The over is 3-0-1 in Spartans last 4 games overall. The Rainbow Warriors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings. The road team is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

The San Jose State Spartans have played their best ball at home this season, but I don’t trust them comfortably winning games, given they’re 99th in total offense and 74th in scoring offense. The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors are well below average on both sides of the ball, and they’re at their worst on the road, but they’ve competed all season. In fact, 4 of Hawaii’s last 5 losses have been decided by 7 or fewer points. Hawaii finds ways to hang around. That’s all we need here. Give me the Rainbow Warriors and the points.
