Week 0 of the 2022 NCAA college football season includes a showdown between the Vanderbilt Commodores and Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. Vanderbilt is searching for better results after finishing dead last in the SEC with an 0-8 conference record, going 2-10 overall as well. Hopefully, head coach Clark Lea gets off to a better start in his second year.

Fortunately for Vanderbilt, Hawaii is undergoing a rebuild after losing a ton of players to the transfer portal this offseason. First-year HC Timmy Chang has a tough task ahead of him and it won't be surprising if he falters early on this year due to a lack of experience.

Vanderbilt vs Hawaii Prediction & Pick

Yes, Vanderbilt's 2021 campaign was forgettable, but the Commodores are still an SEC school and are more talented than the Rainbow Warriors' roster. On top of that, Hawaii hasn't had much success against Vanderbilt's conference, going 1-4 straight up against its last five SEC opponents.

The growing pains will be evident for Hawaii and Vanderbilt should be able to capitalize on this one. I'm calling for a decisive Commodores victory on Saturday.

Final Score Prediction: Vanderbilt: 40 | Hawaii: 14

Again, the talent level difference between these two teams is quite noticeable. The Commodores' SEC experience should give them the edge here, leading to a decisive Vanderbilt victory where Lea's squad covers the spread.

Bet: Vanderbilt -8.5 (-110)
