College football odds Week 2: How to bet Hawaii-Michigan, pick
The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors hit the mainland to take on the fourth-ranked Michigan Wolverines on Saturday in a game between teams coached by their former star quarterback.
Timmy Chang played for Hawaii from 2000-04, departing as the NCAA career leader in passing yards (17,072, since broken by Houston‘s Case Keenum). Chang’s in his first season as Rainbow Warriors coach.
Jim Harbaugh finished third in voting for the Heisman Trophy for the 1986 season and was the Wolverines’ all-time leader in career passing yards (5,449). Harbaugh, who took over at Michigan in 2015, still ranks eighth on the list, 98 yards ahead of some guy named Tom Brady.
Here’s everything you need from a betting perspective on the Rainbow Warriors-Wolverines game, from the point spread, moneyline, total over/under and a pick from our betting expert (odds via FOX Bet):

Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sam Panayotovich:
It didn’t take long for our first 50-point spread of the season.
The Wolverines welcome a turnover-heavy Hawaii club to Ann Arbor, where opposing offenses tend to struggle. The Warriors have already given the football away eight times in two games, and I can’t imagine life getting much easier against Michigan’s defense in front of 107,000 raucous fans.
Blue will obviously win big, but where’s the incentive to run it up?
PICK: Under 67.5 combined points scored (-110 at FOX Bet, bet $10 to win $19.09)
