What's up guys? For today's pick, I am going back to NCF with the Hawaii Warriors -5
The Warriors have an excellent shot tonight at overcoming their struggles on the mainland to win their second straight roadie. The bye week was just what the doctor ordered as it has allowed them to get rested and healthy along their bruised offensive line. Having two weeks to prepare offsets the traveling, in my opinion, and San Jose State does not have a strong home field advantage due to the smaller crowds. San Jose State has played a game in each of the last seven weeks and will not have the luxury of preparation and rest.In last season's matchup on the Island, Hawaii cruised to victory in a 41-7 romp over the Spartans. SJSU had no solution for slowing Bryant Moniz and the Warrior passing attack.
The Hawaii Warriors are coming off a impressive 44-26 dismantling of Louisiana Tech on the road. In that game, freshman running back Josey Iosefa looked explosive, gaining 99 yards on just 16 carries. This is encouraging for Hawaii, since they have been searching for a complimentary rushing attack since losing last year's workhorse Alan Green to the NFL draft. They will figure to get Iosefa some more work, which does not bode well for a Spartan defense that was just bulldozed to the tune of 234 rushing yards by BYU. Sprinkle in the fact that Warrior's QB Moniz can hurt them with his feet as well as his arm.
Make no mistake, however, what the gameplan of the Hawaii offense will be. It will be pass, pass, and more pass. They will be throwing early and often. The weakness of the San Jose State defense that will be most exploited, in my opinion, is their complete lack of anything resembling a pass rush. If this continues this evening, then things could get very well get ugly, as Bryant Moniz will pick them apart if he has time in the pocket. The Spartans average only 3.3 Tackles for a loss(119th nationally) and only have 3 total sacks all season(119th nationally). As you can see, generating and sustaining pressure at the line of scrimmage is a real problem for SJSU. Moniz has thrown 15 TDs to only one interception in their last five games. How's that for efficiency?! Compare that to the opponents QB, Matt Faulkner, who has thrown for only four TDs and an ugly ratio of four picks over that same five game span. Clearly, the Warrior posses a dominant advantage through the air.
The Spartans possess the advantage in the ground game, but they pin their hopes on the gimpy ankle of Brandon Rutley, who averages 100 yards per game when healthy, but is listed as probable. As stated earlier, the Warriors running game appears to be taking off with the freshman Iosefa stepping up. The key to the game is whether or not San Jose State can get any pressure on Bryant Moniz. If they can get pressure at the line of scrimmage, then this could be a close, shootout type of game. If they cannot, then a blowout by the Warriors is quite possible. I beieve that San Jose will score quite a few points tonight and that their defense will slow Hawaii for a little while in the first half. I do not believe however, that the Spartans will score enough to keep pace with the Warriors. In the second half, after making some adjustments, Bryant Moniz and the Warrior passing attack will break the game wide open and Hawaii will lead comfortably throughout. The bottom line is that Hawaii will win this game by a margin of 9 to 17 points, with a blowout certainly not out of the question. Also, I lean to the over in this one, as well, since there is the potential for a lot of scoring if the Spartans can get their offense going. I see the score being in the 33-20, 41-23 range. Good luck, fellas. I think the double digit prop on SFTC has a good chance to hit for Hawaii, so I will most likely pick it, as well.
