Wofford vs Chattanooga Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 29, 2026
Wofford heads to McKenzie Arena on Thursday, January 29, 2026, for a Southern Conference matchup with Chattanooga. Tip is set for 6:00 PM ET on ESPN+. The Terriers come in playing their best ball of the season, riding a three-game win streak and carrying a 14-7 record with a respectable 6-5 mark on the road.
Chattanooga is on the other side of the profile at 9-12 overall, but the market is still giving the Mocs a small home-court lean. With Chattanooga -1.5 and a total of 149.5, this sets up like a game where both teams are expected to score, and the decision point is whether Wofford’s current form travels well enough to win the possession battle late.

Wofford Betting Form
Wofford’s recent stretch is the type of form bettors want to back: steady scoring, confidence from the perimeter, and enough offensive balance that they do not rely on one player to carry every possession. The win over Mercer was a good example of how they can win different ways. When the tempo rises, they have shot-making. When it slows, they can still generate points through efficient half-court possessions.
The three-point volume is the obvious lever. Wofford gets enough attempts up that they can swing a road game with two good shooting pockets. That matters against a Chattanooga team that also wants to win from deep. If Wofford is even average from three, they stay in this game. If they’re hot, they can take control.

Chattanooga Betting Form
Chattanooga’s path is also pretty clear. They need the home environment to stabilize the offense, then let the three-point shooting do the heavy lifting. The Mocs can get points in a hurry when the threes are clean and the ball is moving. That’s why they can be dangerous even with a middling record. The ceiling is there when they’re shooting it well.
The issue for Chattanooga is what happens when the perimeter looks turn into quick misses. That can lead to rushed possessions, long rebounds, and a game that starts getting played at Wofford’s pace. If Chattanooga is not getting stops or creating second chances, they can drift into a stretch where they’re trading contested threes for Wofford’s more stable offense.

Wofford vs Chattanooga Matchup Breakdown
This is a tempo and shot profile matchup that can get volatile quickly. Both teams want to take threes, but the difference is how they get there. Wofford has been more consistent at creating usable looks without forcing the issue. Chattanooga can be explosive, but the offense can also become jump-shot heavy in the wrong way, especially if they fall behind early.
Turnovers and offensive rebounding are the quiet swing factors. In games with a total near 150, you can get there with average efficiency if the possession count climbs. Live-ball turnovers create runouts, and offensive boards create extra threes without needing a set. If Chattanooga can win the second-chance battle, that helps the favorite case a lot. If Wofford controls the glass and keeps the Mocs to one shot, the +1.5 becomes more valuable.
Late fouling is also in play because this line is tight. If the game sits inside two possessions in the final minute, the ending can add points quickly, which matters for 149.5. The key is whether the late-game free throws come from controlled offense or bailout fouls. If you’re evaluating totals through possession count, free-throw rate, and end-game variance, the expert betting guide is a useful reference.
McKenzie Arena is an indoor setting, so weather is not a variable, but the home shooting backdrop and energy are real. Chattanooga’s small favorite status is basically saying the building matters, and this matchup is close enough that it probably does.
Wofford vs Chattanooga Predictions and Best Bets
My side lean is Wofford +1.5. The market is giving Chattanooga a narrow home edge, but Wofford is the team I trust more to play a clean offensive game right now. They’ve been scoring efficiently, they’re comfortable away from home, and their three-point volume gives them multiple ways to cover even if they do not win outright.
Chattanooga’s best case is simple: make threes and get enough stops to force Wofford into a stretch of empty possessions. If the Mocs hit early from deep, the number can look light. But in a near pick’em, I want the team with the steadier offensive floor, especially when both teams rely on perimeter scoring.
On the total, I lean under 149.5 more than the market expectation might suggest. The number is asking for both teams to stay efficient for a full 40 minutes. If either side has a cold stretch, or if the game tightens into more half-court possessions late, 149.5 can be a big ask. The over is still live if the three-point shooting spikes and the whistle is active, but I see more paths to an under than the number implies.
Best Bet: Wofford +1.5 (-113)
