*College basketball odds as of Thursday morning

Tonight's college basketball schedule is a very light one with just five lined games on the slate.

And with no top-25 teams in action, Thursday's matchups don't exactly jump off the page for recreational bettors.

I'm not breaking any news here when I say that despite being a very ugly game, New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football will draw the lion's share of attention from the majority of bettors, but that doesn't mean it's the offering the most value, either.

In fact, according to the Action Network's College Basketball PRO Projections, Thursday under-the-radar IUPUI vs. Eastern Illinois matchup is one that savvy bettors should strongly consider.

While the slate is a small one, IUPUI vs. Eastern Illinois is providing the biggest betting model edge of Thursday's college basketball slate, and it's not all that close.

The Panthers are 4.5-point favorites against the Jaguars as of the time of writing.
