California at Hawaii

California is in an unusual situation as it heads into a bowl game after its head coach was fired. Justin Wilcox was let go after nine years with the Golden Bears, and former Hawaii head coach Nick Rolovich will be the interim coach, adding to the bizarre circumstances. The Bears did finish the regular season on a high note, defeating SMU 38-35 as a 13.5-point underdog. Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele was 31 of 40 for 330 yards and four TDs with no interceptions. He has totaled 3,117 passing yards and 17 TD passes this season. Seven players have at least 200 receiving yards for California. Hawaii split its last four games to finish 8-4. As usual, the Rainbow Warriors rely on the pass, and they are #9 in the country with 289.7 yards per game. Hawaii is #125 in rushing yards with 104.0 per game. The Rainbow Warriors are #62 in pass defense, allowing 218.0 yards per game. Look for the Bears to win a high-scoring affair. Take California on the moneyline.
