Hawaii vs Oregon Odds and Prediction | College Football Betting Preview (Saturday, September 16)

Hawaii vs Oregon Odds

After defeating Texas Tech on the road, it may be time to declare that Bo Nix’s season is in full effect. However, Nix and the Oregon offense may have to stay hot if the Ducks want to make a run in the Pac-12.

Hawaii may be 1-2 on the season, but the Rainbow Warriors have put together solid performances against two Power 5 opponents. It will be interesting to see if they can keep up with the Ducks in this matchup.

Bettors expect this matchup to be a high-scoring affair, but is the total too inflated?

Let’s dive into the Hawaii vs. Hawaii odds. Oregon and let’s make a prediction in this Week 3 college football betting preview for Saturday, September 16.

Hawaii is in year two of running the Run N’ Shoot offense and things are going well. Hawaii throws the ball at the second-highest rate in the country and quarterback Brayden Schager has been executing well.

However, Hawaii’s offense has struggled in pass protection, as Schager has been sacked on 9.28% of dropbacks.

Additionally, Oregon’s defensive woes stem from the running game, which Hawaii is unlikely to exploit.

So, given that this is the toughest defense Hawaii has faced thus far, we may have to temper expectations when it comes to the Rainbow Warriors’ scoring production in this matchup.

The Ducks enter as big favorites by 38 points, so it is clear that they are going to score. They will also have a big advantage in the trenches, as their offensive line has proven capable of pushing opposing fronts early.

The Ducks rank sixth in offensive line yards, which has led them to rank 10th in rushing success rate and 11th in passing success rate.

In the first half, look for the offense to operate with its typical tendencies, which are more pass-heavy. Nix and the Ducks’ receivers should be a problem for a Hawaii secondary that ranks 93rd in opponent completion percentage and 78th in PFF coverage grade.

Although, if the lead grows enough, I would expect the Ducks to run the ball in the second half, which should eat time off the clock.

There is certainly a chance that a lot of points will be scored in this matchup, but if the difference is indicative of the game script, this will be ruined.

The Rainbow Warriors probably won’t have much offensive success and the Ducks will become more conservative as the game progresses.

Take the minus to 66.
