Hawai‘i Rainbow Warriors 2025 Season Preview

The 2025 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors enter the season with a mix of cautious optimism and long-shot potential. After finishing 5–7 in 2024, the program under second-year head coach Timmy Chang looks to improve in the Mountain West and offer value in the betting markets.

Quarterback Micah Alejado is expected to lead the offense after flashes of brilliance in 2024, including a five-touchdown game against New Mexico. His ability to manage the offense and extend plays will be central to Hawaii’s success. Wide receiver Pofele Ashlock and running back Jamih Otis provide balance, giving the Rainbow Warriors a versatile attack capable of challenging defenses both on the ground and through the air.

Defensively, Hawaii will rely on key returning players to improve on a unit that struggled to contain Mountain West opponents last year. Continuity in the secondary and depth along the defensive line will be crucial for keeping games within reach and exceeding projected win totals.

The 2025 schedule features early-season tests against Pac-12 opponents Stanford and Arizona, both likely to influence the Hawaii football odds significantly. Conference play includes matchups with San Diego State and Boise State, where the Rainbow Warriors have the opportunity to surprise bettors and fans alike.

Here's how you can bet on The Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors this season, and some key things to know.

Betting on the Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors

Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors Moneyline

Betting on the moneyline basically means that you are picking the winner of a contest. If the team you pick wins, you win the bet. Check out this example:

• Hawai'i -150
• Delaware State +125

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs show which team is the favorite/underdog, and Hawai'i is favored in our hypothetical scenario. An easy way to understand how odds work is to think about betting in increments of $100. Betting on Hawai'i to win would mean every $150 bet nets $100. If you bet on Delaware State, it's the opposite because they are the underdog, and betting $100 would yield $125.

You can use moneylines as part of a parlay, which is simply multiple bets combined into one larger bet. For example, if you bet the Hawai'i moneyline and a -3.5 point spread, Hawai'i would need to win by four points or more for you to win. Though there is a higher level of risk, the payout is also higher if you win. You can use our Odds Calculator to determine the profits you get from any bet.

Betting point spreads basically means that you are betting on whether a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Here’s an example:

If Delaware State wins the game against Hawai'i or loses by three points or less, then you get back your $100 stake and $110 in profits.

Betting the under means that the two teams would need to score 40 or fewer points for you to win. Your bet can also push, which would happen if the game finishes with both teams scoring a combined 41 points.
