Thursday 12th of November 2026
Doc's Sports
2-Unit Play. Take #750 IPFW +3.5 over Western Michigan (Thursday, November 12, 7 p.m., ESPN+)
I’ll take the points with IPFW at home in Fort Wayne. The Mastodons played Duquesne tough on the road last week, and I expect them to take Western Michigan down to the wire tonight.
Robert Ferringo
1-Unit Play. Take #740 George Mason (-15.5) over Kansas City (3 p.m.)
Kansas City had to play yesterday and I don’t think they will be as sharp for this one. George Mason is also a big step up from the Florida A&M team that they played yesterday. Mason has scorers up and down the lineup and they can wear teams down on both ends of the court. KC has been incredibly streaky from 3-point range. They have had games where they shot 6-for-23 and 7-for-22. But then they’ve also hit 61% and 46% in others. After a good shooting night yesterday I think they come back to reality.
Carpe diem. Good luck.
Craig Trapp
2-Unit Play. Take #759 Richmond (-2.5) Over Southern Illinois (8 pm, Thursday November 12) **FD Odds**
The odds suggest this game will be close, but I don't see it that way. If Richmond plays like they did in their blowout win against Temple, we will easily secure another victory tonight. I recommend taking Richmond to win and cover the spread.

Scott Rickenbach
4-Unit Play. Take #759 Richmond -2.5 at Southern Illinois (8 p.m., Thursday, Nov 12)
The Spiders are 3-0 this season and have looked impressive with each win by at least 23 points and that includes knocking off Temple in most recent game. The Salukis are just 1-1 and allowed 100 points to the Kansas City Roos in most recent game. There is a reason the Spiders are favored on the road here and I look for them to go to 4-0 with a convincing win here at Southern Illinois tonight. 4* RICHMOND -2.5
Arun Shiva (Indian Cowboy)
4-Unit Play. #758. Take Texas A&M -8.5 over Oklahoma State (Thursday @ 8pm est)
Note, 7*NBA and 7*CBB coming up later this week, 7*NCAAF and 6*NFL being released today! We roll with Texas A&M here as we seek our 4th straight winning day in college basketball and of course we come off a nice 6*CBB Winner yesterday after Jackson State and Southern Miss go over the posted total. What you get here is an A&M team with Bucky McMillan that lost to Lutz's team last year, they will be highly motivated, they didn't even break 65 points last year and in this regional battle, Coach Bucky cannot afford to lose yet another game to Oklahoma State which will end up being 3 straigth losses to thema nd we like A&M to deliver here tonight for a solid win.

3 Unit Play Take #756 South Alabama -1 over Loyola Marymount (8:00pm est):
I made this line a few points higher so decent value here with South Alabama. They have battled hard in their first three games this season.
Play South Alabama.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe
Griffin Murphy
2 Unit Play - Take #571 Canisius (+12.5) OVer Brown. (7:00p.m, Thursday, November 12th)
Canisius is 1-2 on the year, but Brown has opened up slowly as well. Brown is coming off their first win of the year over Lehigh 65-55. Prior to that, the Bears lost to New Hampshire 59-55 and Boston University 72-67. Canisius is a sneaky small conference school that has struggled ATS in the last year, and we think the market has shifted. Canisius is coming off a huge 116-60 win on Monday, and we think they carry this momentum into this game.
