The current betting odds have Oregon listed as a 38 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon looked great in their last game as they are now 2-0 to start the season and pulled off a big road win against Texas Tech. They are going to have some momentum from that win as they are coming back home for this game, but they are going to make this home game look more like the one they blew out Portland State in their season opener. Hawaii is already 1-2 this season and they haven't looked great in their games. They lost at home to Stanford and on the road to Vanderbilt who both play in good conferences but are definitely some of the bottom feeders in those conferences. They finally got their 1st win of the season at home in their last game but they barely beat Albany, a team from the FCS, after struggling to keep a lead in the 1st half of that game. Now they go on the road against Oregon who is projected to be one of the best teams in the country this season and they won't have the talent to keep up with Bo Nix and this strong Oregon offense. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon to cover the spread in this game. 

Hawaii Oregon Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, September 16, 2023 (8:00 pm ET start time) is Oregon 59 Hawaii 7.
