Hawaii Warriors vs. UNLV Rebels Prediction

I’m on Hawaii and the points here. I just think Hawaii’s offense has been electric and should have no problems shredding UNLV here and the narrative that Hawaii can’t win away from the island is long gone. UNLV’s had issues putting teams away this season and I think the Rebels let Hawaii hang around and the Warriors are live to win this game. Give me Hawaii and the points.
