Tulsa 48 Hawaii 28 3rd Q- Hawai'i Bowl

Tulsa is a lot better than people think imo

I picked Hawaii because they're playing in Hawaii, bad move?

same here

Both are overrated, but despite their soft Pass D, Tulsa improved somewhat from their ECU opening Hail Mary at buzzer L, to say their win at ND. Bows also improved from their USC opener to season's end.

Still, the line opening and total, and subsequent flow, all point to Bows going up and down the field all day..Canes will need their track shoes to win or cover.

I hate I missed out on a confidence points pick em this year. I would have bet my life in a Boise over Utah game.

Them and Oklahoma were the two highest lines on the bord so I'm pretty sure lots of other people would be right there with you.

I took Hawaii in my pool, but no line and no confidence points. We keep it simple.

I took Tulsa to fade the public

I'm also down a lot

Tulsa has the 2nd worst pass defense in the FBS.

I think this one's pretty obvious.

The reason why Hawaii does so good in their bowl games normally is bc opposing teams are more worried about seeing Hawaii than they are about their bowl. I'm sure tulsa players have been partying all week

Tulsa is giving up 29.9 ppg. (84th in country)
284.2 passing on offense, rushing 219.3, and total
Offense of 39.7 (10th). "sorry is this is messy I'm typing on my phone to Xmas party lol"

Notable losses to ECU n week one, 51-49. Week 3 to Okie St.65-28, and week 6 21-18 to SMU. All three teams are in bowls. Like someone else said, stole a win from
ND and ended the season with a shootout win over Southern Miss.

Hawaii is 387.8 (1st) passing a game, rushing 109.1 (106), and total points 39.9 (9th). The defense gives up 22.7 (43).
Loss to USCw 49-37 in week 1, Colorado 31-13week 3, and Boise St in week 10 42-7.

From what I noticed is that Tulad did play ECU and Southern Miss which generate points, granted they have garbage defense, but that could explain while these two defense math up from 43 and 84. Tulsa is weak defending the pass and having Hawaii doesn't show good signs for Tulsa. But they do have a better running game to use more of the clock keeping Hawaii off the field. Although, Hawaii does have a 1000 yard rusher while Tulsa uses two running backs. Next, Hawaii has two 1000 yard WR, and Tulsa has a 700 and 400 roughly. Hawaii leads the nation with 23 picks and has a leader of 8 interceptions from their S. The spread is 11 as of now, and over/under 75. Hawaii is the home team and can definatly offer them an edge.
I'm 6-0 so far, so hopes this helps. My pick Hawaii.
