Boise State Broncos vs. Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors Betting Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
Boise State Broncos | -1400 | -20.5 (-105) | 61.5 Over (-105) |
Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors | +800 | +20.5 (-115) | 61.5 Under (-115) |
The betting odds display an interesting difference between the teams participating in the event with Boise State being the heavy favorite among sportsbooks. The -20.5 spread is an indication that the Broncos are expected to explode with a victory over three touchdowns. As for the total line that has been set at 61.5, given the inconsistent ability of both teams to register points, the over/under bet will be rather more interesting for the players.
Maddux Madsen QB vs. Brayden Schager QB
Boise State Broncos have enjoyed great offensive output this season as Maddux Madsen has thrown for over 1,000 yards with a 63% completion rate and 150.2 passer rating while being an effective quarterback with these season statistics. It hasn’t been the most efficient, but it is not terribly run or gamed. but 10 touchdown productivity with 2 interceptions makes him the most important figure in this picture as well.
On the other hand, Brayden Schager has faced off most challenging season with the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors. Madsen has ranked above Schager in terms of total passing yards. However, the completion percentage is quite low at 60.5%, and the pass intercepts soared to 6, making him a target for the Boise State defense. Schager, to be competitive against a strong Broncos defence, will have to significantly enhance his game management and decision-making abilities.
Broncos Ground and Air Attack: A Dominant Force
Ashton Jeanty, the standout running back for Boise State, has been nothing short of spectacular this season, amassing over 1,000 rushing yards with an explosive average of 10.9 yards per carry. His 16 rushing touchdowns are a testament to his prowess and ability to find the end zone from virtually anywhere on the field. Coupled with Cameron Camper’s deep-threat capability, accumulating 330 receiving yards on just 18 catches, the Broncos’ offensive lineup is primed to capitalize on any defensive lapses by the Rainbow Warriors.
Warriors’ Response on the Ground and Through the Air
The Rainbow Warriors have struggled to match the offensive output of their opponents this season. Landon Sims, with a modest 148 rushing yards and a single touchdown, leads a Hawai’i running game that has found little success in penetrating tough defenses. Pofele Ashlock, despite being a reliable receiver with 428 yards, will need to make significant plays to shift the momentum in favor of Hawai’i. The Warriors’ ability to enhance their run game and provide Schager with more options in the passing game will be critical for a competitive performance.
Boise State Broncos Betting Trends
Boise State has been a strong bet against the spread, particularly in their recent matchups, going 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against Hawai’i and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

The trend of games going over the total points in most of their recent outings further supports the expectation of a high-scoring affair this Saturday.
Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors Betting Trends
Conversely, Hawai’i has struggled to cover the spread with a 5-10 ATS record in their last 15 games. Their inability to perform consistently at home, as seen in their 1-7 SU record in the last 8 home games against Boise State, poses a significant challenge. The trend of games going under in total points in their recent home games indicates a potential betting angle for those looking to capitalize on the defensive struggles of the Rainbow Warriors.
