UNLV at Hawaii

This is a good matchup for the UNLV ground attack. The Rebels average 246.3 yards rushing behind Lexington Thomas (499 yards, 5.5 yards per carry) and Charles Williams (334 yds, 5.8 ypc). That ground game is #17 in the nation and their top three runners average over 5.5 yards per carry. Hawaii is home but on a 3-9 spread run here, including 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games on fieldturf. Hawaii has one of the worst run defenses in the country, ranking #116 allowing 235.7 yards per game. The Warriors are 2-8 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. UNLV won 41-21 last year with 258 yards passing and 289 yards rushing, 5.5 yards per carry. The dog has covered four of the last five meetings and look for the Rebels with their ground game to keep this close. Take the points on the road dog Rebels.
