On the defensive side, the Great Danes have key players like Dylan Kelly (LB), Ori Jean-Charles (LB), and Larry Walker Jr. (DB). Albany’s recent games have seen varying results, with the team securing a Week 1 win over Fordham but losing in Week 2 to Marshall.

When it comes to betting stats, Albany’s recent games have shown fairly consistent results in terms of ATS and O/U. In their game against Fordham, Albany won 34-13, covering the -4.5 spread and going under the total of 60 points.

Hawaii vs Albany Prediction

For Albany to win this matchup, they need to capitalize on their passing game and exploit Hawaii’s struggling defense. Improving their rushing attack would also help balance their offensive approach. The Danes have a top-40 passing offense in FCS, but are only averaging 126 YPG on the ground.

Hawaii can secure a victory by continuing to rely on their strong passing game and improving their rushing attack. Additionally, their defense needs to step up and contain Albany’s passing offense. The Rainbow Warriors are currently allowing a decent 253 YPG through the air.

For our Hawaii vs Albany prediction, we’re taking the Rainbow Warriors to cover the spread. The Rainbow Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their past six games at home, and they possess a talented enough secondary to contain Albany’s biggest strength.

• Pick: Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (-7.5)
