Game Overview

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (2-1) host the Portland State Vikings (0-3), with Hawaii heavily favored. Portland State has struggled offensively, scoring only 6.7 points per game, while Hawaii has shown solid form, currently 2-1 and favored by a massive 38.5 points. The over/under is set at 52.5 points.

Key Factors to Consider

• There is limited direct recent H2H data but the current season form and class gap favor Hawaii strongly over this FCS opponent.

Match Analysis: BYU Cougars vs Portland State Vikings – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-08-30
• Time: 12:00 AM UTC
• Location: LaVell Edwards Stadium, Provo, UT

Game Overview

The BYU Cougars, coming off a strong 11-2 2024 season and transitioning into the 2025 campaign, host the struggling Portland State Vikings who are looking to rebound from a 42-0 opening loss. BYU is considered a heavy favorite with dominant recent team metrics and a home-field advantage.

Key Factors to Consider

• BYU showed strong form last season (11-2), averaging over 31 points per game, while Portland State struggled early in 2025 with a 42-0 defeat, revealing weaknesses on offense and defense.
• No recent direct matchups recorded; historically, BYU performs very strongly against lower-tier FCS opponents like Portland State, often winning by large margins.
• No major injuries reported for BYU; Portland State's key offensive players showed limited output in the opener but no severe injuries reported.
• Game at BYU's home stadium with favorable weather (80°F, no rain, light wind) supports strong offensive output.
• BYU aims to establish dominance early in the season and build playoff resume; Portland State seeks to avoid a demoralizing start to their season after a heavy loss.
