West Georgia vs Stetson Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 15, 2026
West Georgia heads to DeLand on Thursday night for an Atlantic Sun game where the market is backing the road favorite, even with Stetson showing stronger home form than its overall record suggests. West Georgia is laying 5.5 at the Edmunds Center, while Stetson sits in the underdog role despite being 5-2 at home.
Tip is 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+. The total is 152.5, and the pricing here is basically a bet on whether West Georgia’s higher-end scoring nights show up on the road, or whether Stetson’s home comfort keeps this inside one or two possessions.

| Stetson | +172 | +5.5 (-110) | 152.5 |
West Georgia Betting Form
West Georgia’s range is wide, and that’s what makes the handicap interesting. They’re coming off an ugly offensive performance, but they’ve also shown they can score when they get into their preferred flow. The Wolves are the type of team that looks much better when they’re getting early offense and not playing against a fully set defense every trip. When that happens, they can pile up attempts and let volume do the work.
The key player angle is that West Georgia has a true alpha scoring and rebounding presence, and that gives them a baseline even when the jump shooting is average. They also have some defensive teeth, especially with rim protection, which can take away easy looks and force Stetson into tougher finishes. That matters when you’re laying 5.5 on the road, because you’re betting that your defensive floor shows up even if your offense is uneven.

Stetson Betting Form
Stetson’s 5-2 home record is the reason the spread is worth debating. The Hatters have looked far more comfortable in this building, and their path to covering is pretty straightforward: hit threes, compete on the glass, and keep West Georgia from turning the game into a volume shootaround.
Stetson has enough perimeter shooting to create run potential, and that’s important against a road favorite laying multiple possessions. If Stetson strings together a couple of clean possessions from deep, it forces West Georgia to execute, and that’s where the favorite can get stressed. The bigger question is whether Stetson can defend consistently enough to avoid the 8-0 run that turns a tie game into a two-possession chase.

West Georgia vs Stetson Matchup Breakdown
This game comes down to shot profile and pace control. West Georgia wants to generate a lot of attempts and pressure you with volume. Stetson wants a cleaner, more selective game where the home team’s threes and comfort level matter. If West Georgia is getting second-chance looks and playing through the paint, the -5.5 starts to make sense because Stetson has to be very efficient just to keep up.
The three-point battle is the swing. Stetson can make threes and that gives them live dog energy, but West Georgia’s rim protection can push Stetson toward those perimeter attempts whether they’re clean or not. If Stetson’s looks are contested, the points become harder to find. If they’re open, the upset becomes real quickly.
On the total, 152.5 feels a touch high if West Georgia’s defense controls the paint and Stetson is forced into slower, tougher possessions. The under is most at risk if West Georgia gets out in transition and Stetson answers with made threes. That’s the quickest way this game gets into the 80s for both sides.
West Georgia vs Stetson Predictions and Best Bets
I lean Stetson +5.5. The market is respecting West Georgia’s overall profile, but Stetson’s home record matters, and a +5.5 in a building where they’ve played their best ball is enough cushion for a game that should be competitive for long stretches. West Georgia’s offense has also shown volatility, and laying points on the road with a team that can go cold is not my favorite bet.
If West Georgia wins this game, it can still be a 3 to 6 point type of finish, especially if Stetson is making just enough threes to prevent separation. That’s the exact cover window you want when you take +5.5. The main risk is if West Georgia dominates the glass and turns possessions into a volume gap that Stetson can’t overcome.
On the total, I lean under 152.5. The combined scoring averages point that direction, and I’d rather bet on a more controlled A-Sun game than assume both offenses are clean for 40 minutes.
Best Bet: Stetson +5.5
