Texas A&M-Corpus Christi vs Hawai’i Prediction

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders haven’t had the toughest schedule in the world, and they’ve still struggled on the road. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi also hasn’t played in a week, so who knows what sort of rust they’re dealing with. The Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors are always a tough out at home, and this season has been no different. It may not be pretty, but Hawaii’s defense should be the difference. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with the Warriors at home.
