On Dec 24, the 10th anniversary of the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl occurs in Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii when the Nevada Wolf Pack takes on the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles. With Southern Miss at -6 with the over/under at 62, the sports book has its eyes on this match also.


Super Bowl odds

Nevada comes into Honolulu with a 7-5 overall record and a 5-2 record excellent enough for second place in the WAC. The Nevada Wolf Pack have gone 0-2 vs rated competitors this season. Nevada’s power does not come through the air; it comes directly at their competitors with a 251.8 rushing yards per game average. That average is rated sixth in the country and paired with their passing, the Nevada Wolf Pack average 522.8 yards of total offense per game which also rates sixth nationwide. Renowned hall of fame head coach Chris Ault is now in his third different period with Nevada. Heading Ault’s pistol offense is a double-fisted attack with freshman Quarterback Cody Fajardo and senior Quarterback Tyler Lantrip. Senior WR Rishard Matthews has been amazing all year with his 91 receptions standing 9th in the country.

Super Bowl odds

Southern Miss has had a phenomenal year with an 11-2 overall record with a 6-2 1st place showing in Conference USA. They’ve played one rated team this season and soundly defeated undefeated #6 Houston 49-28 two weeks ago and dashed the Cougars chance for a BCS bowl game in the process. As Larry Fedora is coaching his final game with the Golden Eagles, the head coaching spot at Southern Miss is a lame duck position. Fedora has managed a 33-19 record over his 4 years in Hattiesburg and he was named the new head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels on December 9th.

Senior Quarterback Austin Davis leads the Golden Eagles behind center. Senior WRs Ryan Balentine and Kevin Bolden are always a possible deep risk whilst freshman RB Jamal Woodyard is reliable on the ground.
