3 Sharp College Basketball Predictions for Thursday
For those invested in conference tournaments, the Bet Labs Signals big bet tracker provides a vital edge, spotlighting key line shifts inspired by sharp action.
As we approach a fresh cycle of games for Thursday, market-moving bets are being placed.
First on the list is the high-octane showdown between UNC and Wake Forest, where we tracked a respected move at FanDuel on over 146.5, pushing it as high as 148.5 in certain spots.
UNC and Wake totaled just 133 points in the previous meeting. The total landed under the closing number of 147. However, the first smart position for Thursday’s Demon Deacons vs. Tar Heels clash was on the over, perhaps reflecting a savvy stance for two teams on quick turnarounds.

Conversely, Thursday evening’s Marist vs. Mount Saint Mary’s game is drawing attention on the under. Originally pegged at 126.5, sharp action has nudged the total down to 125.5 in some spots.
Both regular-season meetings between Marist and Mount Saint Mary’s finished comfortably under the closing total — the most recent by 18, the first by 33.

Finally, an American Athletic Conference matchup pits East Carolina against UTSA, with the Pirates initially favored by 2.5 points. However, a big bet on East Carolina at FanDuel warranted a ripple effect around the market, with the chalk now favored by 3.5 points for Thursday.
