It's a rare Hawaii Bowl without the Hawaii Warriors playing, so it's Nevada against Southern Mississippi at Aloha Stadium in bowl betting action December 24.

The underdog has won this game outright the past four seasons, which would make Nevada the prediction here as a 6-point underdog. Also of note, 7 of the past 10 Hawaii Bowls have been high-scoring affairs that have played over the bowl betting total.
