Chattanooga Mocs

The Chattanooga Mocs hit the road for a Southern Conference game against Wofford on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, with tip set for 6:00 PM ET at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium in Spartanburg. The matchup streams on ESPN+. Chattanooga comes in 7-10 overall and just 2-7 away from home, while Wofford is 11-6 and has been strong in its building, winning six of seven at home.

Wofford is laying -5.5, and that number makes sense given the home-road split. But Chattanooga’s profile gives them a real cover path because they can score in chunks from three, and that can erase a lot of “better team at home” edges quickly. The total is 152.5, which is fairly aggressive for a conference game where both sides can swing hot and cold depending on perimeter looks.

Chattanooga Mocs Betting Form

Chattanooga is coming off one of its better offensive games, an 88-79 win over Samford where they shot 47.5% from the field and didn’t look hesitant at all. Jordan Frison and Teddy Washington Jr. didn’t have to go nuclear, but they were steady, and that’s usually the difference for Chattanooga. When the scoring is spread around and the threes come in rhythm, they can hang with anyone in this league for long stretches.

The betting angle is pretty simple. Chattanooga bombs threes, 10.9 makes per game, and they’re solid at the line at 76.1%. That combo plays well as an underdog because it keeps them from getting stuck needing perfect half-court possessions late. The issue is the road form. At 2-7 away, you can’t ignore that they’ve had stretches where the defense slips and the shot selection gets rushed. Still, in a +5.5 spot, you’re not asking them to be the better team, you’re asking them to stay connected.

For a bigger picture look at how Chattanooga has performed this season, Chattanooga stats and results are useful for tracking their swings and how often their shooting travels.

Wofford Terriers Betting Form

Wofford is coming off a strange one, a 109-97 loss to Mercer that was basically all offense and not much resistance. Nils Machowski went off for 33 and Kahmare Holmes added 22 with eight rebounds, so it wasn’t a scoring problem. It was a “can you get enough stops” problem, and when the game gets that loose, it’s hard to trust any favorite to cover.

The home record is the biggest reason Wofford is favored. They’ve won six of seven at Jerry Richardson, and they’re comfortable playing with pace at home. Offensively they’re strong enough to pressure a road team, averaging 79.3 points per game and making 9.8 threes per game. If those threes are falling early, Wofford can build a margin fast, and Chattanooga is not a team you want chasing in this gym.

Chattanooga Mocs vs Wofford Terriers Matchup Breakdown

This game is going to come down to the three-point math and which team handles the middle part of the game. Chattanooga’s best punch is obvious: volume threes plus steady free throws when the game tightens. Wofford can match that from deep, but they’re a little more dependent on getting clean looks created inside out. If Chattanooga is chasing shooters well and not helping off the wrong spots, Wofford’s possessions can get longer than they want.

The other swing factor is whether Chattanooga’s defense holds up when the pace increases. Wofford at home can turn a normal possession game into quick attempts, quick rebounds, and quick threes. That’s where road underdogs can get buried. But if Wofford’s defense looks anything like it did against Mercer, then +5.5 is going to be live for 40 minutes, maybe even more live than the market expects.

This total is sitting in an uncomfortable range because both teams can put up points, and both teams are willing to shoot threes early in possessions. If the whistles are active and you get a lot of free throws, the Over becomes easier. If the game is cleaner and both sides have a few empty stretches, 152.5 is a number you can land under even with both teams in the 70s.

If you like thinking through totals with pace, shot volume, and late-game fouling, the sports betting strategy guide is a solid framework to keep the logic consistent.

Chattanooga Mocs vs Wofford Terriers Predictions and Best Bets

My lean is Chattanooga +5.5. The road record is ugly, and I’m not pretending it isn’t, but this is a matchup where their strengths are the ones that matter most for covering. Threes travel better than people think, and Chattanooga takes enough of them that they can erase a bad two-minute stretch with a quick 9-0 run. If this game is priced like Wofford is going to control it, I think the more realistic script is Wofford wins but Chattanooga hangs around.

On the moneyline, +194 is tempting, but I’d rather take the points. Wofford’s home edge is real, and Chattanooga’s late-game execution away from home is the thing I trust the least. If it’s close in the final four minutes, you’re still sweating whether Chattanooga gets a good shot or settles for a rushed three.

For the total, I lean Under 152.5. The number is high enough that you need sustained efficiency, not just one hot quarter. Both teams can score, but both teams are also capable of going cold for five-minute stretches when the threes stop falling. The Under risk is obvious: if it’s tight late, free throws can pile up and ruin a good read. Still, at 152.5, I’d rather bet on a few empty possessions showing up.

Best Bet: Chattanooga +5.5 (-113).

NCAAB Picks and Handicappers on ScoresAndStats

Conference slates are where being selective matters. The numbers are tighter, the venues matter more, and a couple possessions can decide both the side and the total. If you’re betting Southern Conference games regularly, you want a way to compare multiple leans without locking into one read too early.

That’s why today’s college basketball picks are useful when you’re building a card. You can scan sides and totals across the board, see where the strongest opinions are, and focus on price and matchup fit instead of forcing action on the biggest-name game.
