UCLA vs Hawaii Prediction and Picks - College Football Picks Week 1

the UCLA Bruins are on their way to the Big 10 they'll have a new head coach a new offensive and defensive coordinators uh the bookmakers aren't very bullish on UCLA the regular season win total sits at four and a half yet they will be a 13 and a half Point favorite on the road in week one is it too many points well we're going to talk about it but before we do I got to tell you about a promotion we have available right now at wagertalk.com from now until August 31st first you can get all my football picks that's college football NFL and NFL preseason for one low price of 249 bucks through the end of September and why would you be interested in that well I do my homework over the summer the results speak for themselves I'm 41 and 12 77% with college football in August and September the last two seasons you throw in NFL and NFL preseason we're still hitting 75% you can get that right now at WT buuz deals that's the wager talk deals page but there is no obligation to purchase anything from me you're more than welcome to tune in for the free content get the free picks the only thing I ask from you is you take the time to smash that like button and that will allow me to keep on putting out these videos let's get into the free pick we got UCLA at Hawaii UCLA is a 13 and a half Point favorite total sitting at 55 and a half Chip Kelly is gone the Chip Kelly era is over over Deshawn Foster will take over at head coach and he brings in Eric benmy at offensive Co coordinator and kind of surprising to see Eric benmy back in college football uh I thought he was supposed to be The Heir Apparent to uh Andy Reed at Kansas City of course he was the architect of the great Kansas City Chiefs offense um it's hard not to be bullish on the future at UCLA but this season uh they they're going to miss a lot of the talent they had in previous years and uh the offense might be in decent shape with quarterback Ethan garbers who started or played in seven games last year throwing for 1,136 yards 11 touchdowns and three picks uh the loss of defensive coordinator Danton Lynn will hurt the loss of several key starters on defense is also gonna hurt and it's probably going to take time for all the moving parts to come together and while this will be the season opener for UCLA Hawaii gets a tuneup game against Delaware state in week zero then they're at home to host UCLA they're getting 13 and a half points however this line opened at 17 it's been money's come in on Hawaii so a little bit late to the party if you like Hawaii uh Timmy Chang's third season in Hawaii second season running the shoot run and shoot offense and uh third year for Braden shager last year he threw for 3542 yards 26 touchdowns 14 picks those 14 picks that looks a little bit concerning but he's trending in the right direction uh his touchdown to interception ratio has gotten better by the year his uh completion percentage has gotten better every year and uh he he looks like he's in good position to have a big year this year Hawaii was four and three at home last year they Aver 23 points per game at home and uh I I like Hawaii in this spot I like Hawaii I like the over I'm not going to go with either of those I will say that I've got a soft spot in my heart for Hawaii as a double digigit dog at home one of the reasons for that is back in 2022 I gave out Hawaii on the money line against UNLV in their final home game I gave that out live on Sports memo YouTube channel that still up there you can see it at the sports memo YouTube page and uh of course Hawaii went outright cashing in a big moneyline dog bet they were an 11-point dog and uh I wouldn't be surprised if Hawaii gives UCLA a run for their money like I said we kind of missed the boat as far as taking the points here uh I don't mind the over as a play either but the the way I'm going to go is I'm going to look at the team total for the Rainbow Warriors we're going to go Hawaii over 21 a half points of course there's no to team totals listed at the sports books as of yet but we got the side we got the total and with UCLA favored by 13 and a half and the total at 55 and a half the implied team totals appear to me to be uh UCLA 34 and a half Hawaii 21 and a half and as you can see below I like that up to 23 and a half I think Hawaii is going to get their points here in their second game of the season against a CLA team trying to figure things out in their season opener with a new coaching staff if you like this video smash that like button subscribe to the channel if you got anything to say to me even if it's nasty you hit me up in the comments below I'll get back to you as soon as I can
