NCAA-B | Appalachian State vs Southern Miss
Play on: Southern Miss +2 -115 at Bovada

This is a play on the SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI GOLDEN EAGLES for our Thursday Free Play. The recent schedules set this one up great for the home team. Southern Mississippi went 6-6 with its nonconference schedule and after opening 5-1 in the Sun Belt Conference, the Golden Eagles have dropped their last four games. All four games were on the road however and this is the first home game since January 10th where they are 8-1, the lone loss coming against Sun Belt Conference contender Arkansas St. Their victories have been against mostly suspect teams but this situation is too good at this time. Meanwhile, Appalachian St. has won three of its last four games to improve to 6-4 in the conference and just the opposite of the Golden Eagles, the Mountaineers last four games have all been at home. They are a respectable 4-5 on the road but that only helps with the value in the line. Appalachian St. remains the worst free throw shooting team in the country as it is hitting only 61.6 percent and what looks to be a close game based on the number, this is deadly for the Mountaineers. Play (794) Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles

NBA 34-18-1 Run continues tonight. CBB 164-150-2 Run. SIX Winners going on Thursday. 242-215-10 NFL Run. Super Bowl upcoming. Fargo was at the top of the boards in MLB last season! Get that All Sports Subscription and get every premium play!

NCAA-B | Arkansas-Little Rock vs Tennessee State
Play on: Arkansas-Little Rock +5½ -110 at Buckeye

Thursday CBB Free play. My selection is on Arkansas-Little Rock plus the points over Tennessee State at 8:30 pm et on Thursday.

We'll grab all the points we can get with Arkansas-Little Rock on Thursday as it looks to avenge an earlier loss to Tennessee State. While the Tigers do own the better overall record in this matchup this season, the visiting Trojans have faced the more difficult schedule by most metrics. Arkansas-Little Rock has had a week to stew over last Thursday's 70-65 loss to Southeast Missouri State, snapping its four-game winning streak. The Trojans have still connected on 25 or more field goals in eight of their last nine contests while holding three of their last five opponents to 25 or fewer made field goals. Tennessee State on the other hand has yielded 25 or more made field goals against five straight and eight of its last nine opponents. The Tigers have had four full days to pat themselves on the back following a 10-point win over Lindenwood that saw them connect on a ridiculous 41-of-68 field goal attempts. Expect some regression here. Take Arkansas-Little Rock.

NHL | Sharks vs Oilers
Play on: Sharks +187 at circa

This is a classic value play on the underdog. The Edmonton Oilers have historically dominated this head to head matchup, with the Sharks winning once in their last 10 tries against Edmonton. That trend is a legitimate concern and tempers some enthusiasm.
However, the current +190 moneyline price on the San Jose Sharks offers too much value to ignore. This line feels inflated—closer to +150 would be more reasonable given the Sharks solid recent form and road competitiveness.
Both teams enter as winners of their last two games, but the Sharks stand out as a respectable road squad this season. More importantly, they've been excellent as underdogs lately: an 8-4 record (66.7% win rate) in their last 12 games when facing + money on the moneyline. This suggests they're punching above their weight in spots where the market undervalues them.
At +190, we're getting generous odds on a team that's shown real bite in underdog scenarios, especially on the road. The Oilers are the clear favorite at home, but the Sharks recent underdog success and the bloated dog price create strong contrarian value.
Play: Sharks +190
