Hawaii is traditionally HORRIBLE... and I can't stress HORRIBLE enough, on the main land. Bettors know this. If they had a history of performing on the mainland, CU isn't favored in this game.

Yes but do the bettors realize that the bottom might have already dropped out of the 2010 season for CU?
This is an easy game for Colorado. Hawaii's traveling in, unfamiliar with this climate or altitude, and their almost non-existent defense won't last thru the first quarter. Their offense will last twice as long, then collapse for another easy game in Coach Hawk's career.

Hawaii trains in... well... Hawaii... the humidity and heat will have them well prepared for the generally cool, dry climate they'd see in Colorado. They're also staying in Vegas this week, and while not at 5000ft, still around 2000 ft, which'll get them more acclimated to the altitude after a week. They also won't have a 12 hour flight to deal with in getting in the day before the game. They've been away from home for a couple weeks, which may have an effect.
They will be better prepared than most people think. Their offense is MUCH better than CUs and the defenses are about equal. It's not going to be the stomp people think it is.
