Over 49 Total Points (-110)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

The odds for over 49 total points in the Stanford vs. Hawaii game look appealing. Our numbers show a good chance for this bet because both teams have strong offenses that can score. Stanford has been moving the ball well, while Hawaii's defense has struggled to keep up. That said, the risk is that Hawaii's offense might not perform as expected, which could keep the score lower than hoped. Still, with our model predicting around 54.2 points, there's a solid chance we see more than 49 total points in this matchup. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
