Sports Betting – A Look At Thursday’s Slate

It’s a busy night for fans as the league has a full schedule, but it all starts with action from the NFL, while there is an unlikely top-25 matchup brewing in college hoops action on Thursday night.

NFL Betting

Browns Steelers Odds (8:20 PM ET): Pittsburgh is a 14-point favorite at home in this Thursday night matchup, and that line is no . Cleveland is at the end of a three-game stretch against divisional opponents, while the Steelers are trying to keep pace with Baltimore at the top of the AFC North.

NCAA Basketball Betting Odds

Harvard UConn Odds (7:00 PM ET): The No.24 Crimson will be underdogs on the road at No.9 Connecticut, and while those who purchase are used to seeing the Huskies in the top 25, Harvard is ranked for the first time in their history.

Coyotes Red Wings Odds (7:30 PM ET): Detroit should be favored at home as they’ve won seven of their last 10, although they have dropped their last two games. Phoenix has won their last two games and sit atop the Pacific Division, and both of these teams have aspirations of the playoffs, so games like these are a chance to make a statement, although it is only December.

Stars Sharks Odds (10:30 PM ET): Speaking of the Pacific, two of their teams square off in San Jose and neither team is playing that well as of late. The Stars are two points behind Phoenix in the standings, and San Jose is a point behind Dallas, so this game is critical to staying in the race. You can’t win division titles in December, but they can be lost and this is an interesting game for those who .
