5. Hawaii Expected to Win Big Against Defenseless New Mexico Lobos

On Saturday, New Mexico will show the clash of two of the worst defenses in the Mountain West Conference. Both teams rank near the bottom of the nation in total defense, struggling with turnovers and failing to produce in the red zone. Hawaii has a decisive passing advantage over New Mexico; they are currently 17th in the country compared to the Lobos' 95th-ranked passing defense. If Hawaii can protect their quarterback against the Lobos' pass rush, they should be able to score and emerge with a road victory. With Hawaii being the more talented team, take them at -1.
