The high-scoring Southern Miss Golden Eagles will be looking to heat up the field at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu on Saturday night against the underdog Nevada Wolf Pack as the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl is set for kickoff in college football betting action on Christmas Eve.

The Golden Eagles won ten of their last eleven games after losing a 26-20 decision to Marshall back in Week 2, including a stunning 49-28 romp over Houston which was then undefeated and ranked No. 6 in the country in the Conference USA championship game on December 3. Southern Miss finished with a record of 11-2 SU and 8-4-1 ATS including 6-2 SU in conference play to earn their Bowl berth under the sunshine in Hawaii.
 
Following that Week 2 defeat to Marshall, the Golden Eagles failed to score at least 30 points in only one game (a 27-3 victory over SMU on October 22) while finishing up the season ranked 14th in the nation in scoring with an average of 37.8 points per game. The defense also ranked a stingy 29th overall allowing just 21.1 points per game.
 
Nevada, meanwhile, dropped two of its final three games on the heels of an impressive five-game midseason winning streak to finish up at 7-5 SU and 5-7 ATS, including 5-2 SU in Western Athletic Conference matchups. They ranked eighth in the nation on the ground with an average of 251.8 yards rushing per game.
 
The Wolf Pack will be hoping to carry over some momentum from their 56-3 romp over Idaho their last time out, in which backup QB Tyler Lantrip led Nevada to 587 yards of total offense. Starting pivot Cody Fajardo (ankle) is expected to be ready to go on Saturday night, with the Wolf Pack currently listed as 6.5-point underdogs against the Golden Eagles.
