• Betting trends suggest the over will hit in the University of New Mexico vs Hawaii football game on Saturday.
• With an 11 p.m. kick off, this is the best college football bet to recover losses or double down on wins for the day.

HONOLULU – 61 points is the total set for the New Mexico vs Hawaii football game on Saturday. And as one of the chase games, it’s imperative to have this game in your back pocket.

As it stands, legal college football sportsbooks have the New Mexico Lobos favored by less than a field goal (-2.5) on the road vs Hawaii. However, taking a side comes with great risk here, but the trends toward the over seem to relieve much doubt.

New Mexico Scoring Big

Two things point to New Mexico scoring big. In games where Hawaii is a field goal underdog at home or less, their opponents have had their way with them.

Letting up 37, 45, 35, and 56 in the last four games like this, Hawaii scored 24+ in all of those games as well. While this is a good indication of the over on the game total, it’s more of a focus on New Mexico scoring over their projected 31.5 points.

While the odds suggest shading toward the under, it offers a cheaper buy-in for the over bettors.

Also, in games with a comparable over-under, New Mexico has scored 50, 42, 24, and 38 in their last few games where they are small road favorites.

Hawaii has been no help in stopping teams from staying under their total and taking New Mexico on the over seems like the best late night college football chase bet.

What About Hawaii?

Hawaii should see points scored as well, especially on Senior Night. On the road, New Mexico may score a lot but they also let up a lot of points in these types of games.

In fact, they’ve let up 45, 34, 20, 25, and 38 points in their last five like this.

Hawaii’s total is set at 29.5 points – something attainable but perhaps just a little too high. While New Mexico is allowing this to hit in three of their last five matchups like this, Hawaii falls short on their end.

As a field goal home dog, Hawaii has scored 24, 50, 24, and 26 over their last four. While they may have not hit their team total, the over cashed at legal sports betting sites in three of these games.

In short, bet the over in the Hawaii and New Mexico game. Expect a lot of points from the Lobos and Rainbow Warriors, but more signs point to New Mexico being on top at the end.
