The Warriors also showed up defensively by limiting Oregon State to just 169 passing yards, though they did allow a whopping 263 rushing yards and three rushing TDs to the Beavers.

One week after smacking Eastern Washington around in their opener, Washington fell to Cal 20-19 in a big upset that saw the Pac-12 title hopefuls fail to cover the chalk as a 13.5-point home favorite. Quarterback Jacob Eason had a miserable game by completing just 18 of 30 passes for 162 yards with one interception and no touchdowns to negate a fine performance from running back Salvon Ahmed who rushed for 119 yards and a score on 21 carries in the loss.

Expert Analysis and Prediction for Hawaii vs Washington

While Washington let me down in a big way and quarterback Jacob Eason looked nothing like the former five-star recruit he once was, I am going to back Washington to take care of business at home to get the straight-up victory. However, when it comes to cover the chalk as a three-touchdown favorite, I don’t see it happening for Chris Petersen’s team after their weaknesses were revealed a week ago.

Not only can Hawaii put points on the board in a hurry, but the Warriors are also an encouraging 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games against teams from  the Pac-12. With Washington going an uninspiring 3-8 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss, I say take Hawaii and the points to get the ATS win in this one!

Pick: Hawaii +21.5
