UPDATE 8:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY, DEC. 22: Thanks to the transfer portal, Coastal Carolina (7-5 SU/8-4 ATS) will start third-string QB Ethan Vasko in the Hawaii Bowl. San Jose State (7-5 SU/9-3 ATS) stretched out to -11 by Sunday, after opening -7.5 Dec. 3 at DraftKings.

There's been some regression since, with the Spartans now -9.5 (-115). San Jose State is netting 58% of spread bets/62% of spread money.

DK's total saw a lot of movement, too, but down instead of up. After opening at 54.5, it steadily made its way to 49 by Thursday. The Over is getting 78% of bets, but money is almost dead even.

Hawaii Bowl Pick, Prediction

Action Network college football betting expert Collin Wilson offers this prediction:

San Jose State rattled off six consecutive wins, including a victory in the season finale over UNLV, to conclude the regular season.

But because of the computer polls used for tiebreakers in the Mountain West, the Spartans did not compete for the conference crown. Instead, they'll take a trip to Hawaii to cap off the season.

This is San Jose State and head coach Brent Brennan's first trip to the island for a bowl but certainly not their first trip for a game. San Jose State has played in Hawaii in three of the past four seasons, winning every instance, including a 35-0 victory over the Rainbow Warriors on Oct. 28.

Coastal Carolina ended the season with two losses and heads to Honolulu on a 12-hour direct flight without quarterback Grayson McCall.

Both teams generate plenty of rush explosives, but the Chanticleers' inability to defend inside zone will be the difference against the Spartans' duo of quarterback Chevan Cordeiro and running back Kairee Robinson.

Pick: San Jose State -10

Hawaii Bowl History

The Hawai'i Bowl bowl began in 2002 and is played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawai'i. The University of Hawai'i is granted an automatic bid to this bowl as long as they are bowl eligible; if not, another Mountain West Conference school will take Hawai'i's place. 

The opponent comes from either the Mountain West Conference (MWC), American Athletic Conference (AAC), or Conference USA. This bowl was formerly named the ConAgra Foods Hawai'i Bowl and the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl prior to dropping the sponsorship in 2014. 

Underdogs own a 5-1 ATS record the last six years at the Hawaii Bowl.

Hawai'i has made the most appearances in this bowl with nine, posting a 5-4 record.

In 2018, Hawai'i got knocked around in their own building against the tremendous defensive of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs from Conference USA. The Bulldogs racked up nine sacks, a bowl record, en route to a 17-point victory to comfortable cover a one-point number. The 'under' (61) was never threatened, ending a two-game over streak in this game. 

Hawai'i won a back-and-forth affair with BYU in the 2019 installment with a 38-34 triumph. Although the Rainbow Warriors scored only one touchdown in the second half, they managed to hit the third 'over' in the last four Hawai'i Bowls.

The 2020 installment of this game was wiped out due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The game was expected to resume Dec. 24, 2021, pitting Memphis of the AAC against Hawai'i.

However, the Warriors pulled out of the game less than 24 hours prior to kickoff citing COVID issues within the program, while several players had left the program via the transfer portal, leaving the school unable to field a team.

Underdogs have thrived the last two years by winning outright. Middle Tennessee edged San Diego State in 2022, followed up by Coastal Carolina defeating San Jose State in 2023.
