Campbell vs Charleston Picks and Predictions – January 22, 2026
Campbell heads to Charleston for a Coastal Athletic Association matchup on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET. This one is at TD Arena, and it’s a classic conference spot where the favorite is trusted, but not priced like a runaway.
Charleston is laying 4 at home with an 11-8 record and a 7-3 mark in this building. Campbell is 9-10 overall, but the road résumé is the red flag at 2-10 away. The total is the loudest number on the board at 161.5, which is basically a statement that both teams can score and the game should stay playable in the half-court without turning into a rock fight.

These are the current lines, but bettors should always monitor updated numbers and movement on the college basketball odds board as tip approaches.
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Campbell | +145 | +4.0 (-110) | 161.5 |
| Charleston | -178 | -4.0 (-110) | 161.5 |
Campbell Betting Form
Campbell’s offense is the reason this spread is short. They just lost 78-75 at UNCW, and even in a road loss you can see the profile that keeps them live: they can score in bunches and they’re comfortable playing through contact. The free-throw production is a real handicap point, because it stabilizes scoring when the jumper goes cold and it keeps the game from slipping away with quick empty possessions.
From a betting standpoint, +4 is attractive when the underdog can win the foul battle and keep the scoreboard moving. Campbell doesn’t need to dominate efficiency to cover. They need to stay connected, avoid turnover runs, and make Charleston defend multiple actions instead of letting it become one-and-done trips.
For a deeper snapshot of their recent outputs and game-by-game scoring volatility, check Campbell stats and results. The key is how often their offense turns into free throws and how steady they are defending without bailing opponents out at the line.
Charleston Betting Form
Charleston’s case as a home favorite starts with shot-making and comfort at TD Arena. Even coming off a close loss, the Cougars have the kind of scoring options that can flip a spread in two minutes, especially if the threes start falling and the pace speeds up. The free-throw ability matters too, because it’s the cleanest way to protect a lead late and it keeps their floor high in tight games.
The biggest concern when laying 4 is whether Charleston can consistently end possessions. If Campbell is living at the line and creating second-chance sequences, that’s where short spreads get tricky. You can win the game and still fail to cover if you give the underdog extra bites and let them control the whistle.
If you want to evaluate their home splits and whether the offense has been consistent or spiky, use Charleston schedule and stats. In a game like this, the handicap is less about “who is better” and more about whether Charleston can dictate pace without turning it into a free-throw fest.
Campbell vs Charleston Matchup Breakdown
This matchup is a tug-of-war between scoring efficiency and how the game gets officiated. Campbell’s path is to attack, draw contact, and keep the scoreboard pressured. Charleston’s path is to score cleanly without sending Campbell to the stripe, then cash the home edge in the last eight minutes through better execution.
The total at 161.5 is aggressive, and it forces you to ask one question: are we getting a true up-and-down game, or are we getting points through whistles and late-game free throws? Those are not the same thing. A game can feel fast and still land under if both teams trade missed threes and settle for tough jumpers without transition. Conversely, a game can be fairly ordinary in pace and still flirt with the over if the foul count climbs.
Shot profile matters here. Charleston can run you off the line and still give up points at the rim if rotations get stretched. Campbell can punish that, but only if they value possessions. Live-ball turnovers are the quickest way for an underdog to get buried on the road, because it hands the favorite free points without needing half-court execution.
If you want a clean framework for weighing pace, free throws, and late-game variance on totals this high, the expert betting guide is a strong reference point.
Campbell vs Charleston Predictions and Best Bets
I lean Campbell +4. The road record is ugly, but the recent competitive road games matter more than the season-long split. Campbell’s ability to score and generate free throws gives them a realistic way to stay inside a one-possession game deep into the second half, and that’s all you’re asking for with +4.
Charleston can absolutely cover if they play clean. If the Cougars are getting efficient threes early and they’re not sending Campbell to the line, the home team has the sharper margin path. But if this turns into a steady whistle game, Campbell’s scoring stability rises and the spread starts to look a touch cheap.
On the total, I lean under 161.5. That number assumes a lot of clean offense, and it doesn’t take much to knock it off pace: one cold stretch, a few empty possessions at the rim, and a little more half-court than expected. The over can get there if it becomes a foul parade late, but I’d rather bet that 161.5 is simply too high for a conference game where both teams know the coverages.
Best Bet: Campbell +4.0
