Cal State Bakersfield vs Hawaii Prediction

In this Cal State Bakersfield vs Hawaii Prediction, Hawaii is coming as -15.5 home favorites. Hawaii has been the far better team this season with a superior overall record and has been almost perfect at home, with just one loss in 12 home games. On the flip side, Bakersfield has been bad on the road and has three consecutive losses but is 5-2 against the spread in its last 7. Hawaii is 8-2 in its last 10 games but just 2-6 against the spread in its last 8, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 11-2 to the under in their last 13 games combined, with Hawaii having the 11th-best defense in the entire nation. Take the under 146.5 points in this one.
