  • Sharps are quietly betting Thursday's Youngstown State vs. Akron college basketball game (7 p.m. ET).
  • We examine how smart money is moving this point spread.

It's Thursday in November, which means football dominates tonight's sports schedule.

Thursday Night Football, which is normally a huge draw no matter who is playing, offers a very interesting Colts vs. Texans matchup, while college football's NC State vs. Georgia Tech game is also drawing an impressive number of betting tickets.

College hoops does have a fun all-day slate, but just like yesterday, it doesn't offer much in terms of high-profile matchups between top teams.

But again, just like Wednesday's Rider vs. UMass game, sharps are finding value in an otherwise unattractive slate.

Let's look at how pros are quietly playing tonight's Youngstown State vs. Akron college basketball matchup.
