In their only previous meeting last season, Sam Houston won 31-13 at home, covering the spread, as the game went under the point total.

In this Sam Houston vs Hawaii Prediction, Hawaii is coming in as -7-point home favorites, with the total set at 49 points. Both teams are coming off defeats in their previous games, losing by 34 and 17 points respectively. Hawaii was 4-3 at home last season and 6-5-1 against the spread, while Sam Houston was 4-2 on the road and 6-6 against the spread. Hawaii has more games under their foot this season and are playing back home. I do not trust Sam Houston to do damage on the road, so take the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors and lay the points at home.
