Hawaii Warriors vs. San Jose State Spartans Prediction
I’m on Hawaii here. I know San Jose State has had some bad breaks this season but still, this line is disrespectful to what Hawaii has accomplished up to this point in the year. The knock on Hawaii was always that this Warriors team has trouble competing once you take them off of the Island, but they’ve disspelled those rumors with back-to-back road wins and I still think that the Warriors are good enough to get the win on the road again here. Give me Hawaii here.
