Hawaii vs. Vanderbilt Prediction: Will Dior Scott Carry Hawaii To Week 0 Win?

The Vanderbilt Commodores vs. the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors will clash from the island on Saturday night as these teams kick off the 2022 season. Vanderbilt comes into this year looking for their first winning season since 2013. They have been the laughing stock of the SEC over the last decade and will look to flip the script on that narrative this season.

They do play in the toughest conference in the nation, but this has not been a good team over the last decade. They will look to get their season started with a win and come into this game as a nine-point favorite of Hawaii tonight. Let's break down the game between Hawaii and Vanderbilt.

Hawaii vs. Vanderbilt Prediction

Clark Lea enters his second season as the head coach of Vandy. He is a guy that the program is confident in and believes that he can turn things around. Mike Wright will be the man under center to start the year. Vandy seems to have a lot of confidence in the senior, and they are hopeful he will turn in a great season.

This is a team that has some talent on its roster, and it will be fun to see how their season plays out. Hawaii is coming off their first losing season since 2017. This has been a successful team over the last few years, and they look to turn in another strong season. Their head coach Timmy Chang will be in his first year for the Rainbow Warriors. Brayden Schager will be the guy the Rainbow Warriors turn to start the season. He is a sophomore QB who the team is very high on. 

I will be backing Hawaii with the points tonight. I am buying a point and taking them +10 -126. This line has continued to move, and it has gotten too high for me not to take the home team. Hawaii is a tough place for road teams to play, and I trust that they will be ready to go here in week one. Vanderbilt is not good enough to be this heavy of a favorite. They will be the more talented team, but ten points is a ton at home for Hawaii. I think their offense scores enough points to stay within a cover for us tonight! 

Hawaii vs. Vanderbilt Pick

• Hawaii +10 -126 (Bet $126 to win $100)
