Green Bay Phoenix vs St. Thomas Tommies

Sunday, November 8, 2026

Matchup Analysis

Green Bay’s shooting edge is the most glaring factor, with the crew hitting 45.833 % from deep and 51.961 % overall compared with St Thomas’ 35.0 % from three and 43.636 % from the field. That disparity alone sets the tone for a game where the visitors can dictate tempo and score in bursts.

The market has opened the spread at 7.5 in favor of St Thomas, yet the model projects a -5.5 line for the home side, generating a 13.01‑point edge for Green Bay. The signal’s strength is a straight‑up “play,” indicating the market line is dramatically soft for the visitors and the model’s assessment favors the away side by a wide margin.

Turnover differentials further tilt the balance. St Thomas averages 8.5 giveaways per game, while Green Bay forces 15.0, a gap of –6.5. That extra six‑plus possessions per contest should translate into easy points and additional shot opportunities for the higher‑efficiency team.

Green Bay +7.5 play.
