Hawai’i Bowl
Hawai’i (6-7, 4-4 MWC) vs. Middle Tennessee (8-4, 5-3 C-USA)
Dec. 24 – 8 p.m., ESPN
Aloha Stadium, Honolulu

Average Line: Not Available

And in the big shocker of the bowl season, Hawai’i is playing in the Hawai’i Bowl. (Insert water is wet, grass is green joke here).

The Rainbow Warriors are one of only three bowl teams with a losing record this season, and the Blue Raiders are 5-1 straight up in their past six games against teams with a losing record.

You do the math.

Essentially this is a Hawaiian vacation for MTSU…but then again, any trip out of Murfreesboro could be considered a vacation.

Prediction: Home stadium or not, this isn’t a very good Hawai’i team. If Vegas ever publishes a line on this game, take MTSU to cover up to 10 points.

Next: St. Petersburg Bowl
