Seattle vs Hawaii Prediction

In this Seattle vs Hawaii Prediction, Hawaii is coming as -1.5 home favorites. Hawaii was the better team last season with a better overall record and were dominating at home, with a 16-3 record. They had a superior offense, ranking on the top-90 of the entire country both offensively and defensively and scored 7.5 points per game more than Seattle, who had a better defense, but struggled on the road. The Rainbow Warriors were also superior on the glass, grabbing 6.5 rebounds per game more and I don’t see them losing or letting this get too close in their season opener at home. Take Hawaii on the moneyline.
