West Georgia Wolves

The Wolves covered the spread in 20 of 30 games in 2025-26, a rate only nine Division I teams beat, while losing more than they won. A single upset at Troy, at +1100, paid more than their whole moneyline profit.

A losing record that covered

West Georgia finished 15-17 and covered 66.7% of its lined games. Nine teams in Division I covered more often; one matched it. As underdogs the Wolves covered 15 of 22, and they covered even in heavy defeats: 83-62 at UCLA getting 30.5, 103-74 at Georgia getting 36.5.

The covers were spread across the season: five of six in November, six of eight in February, both March games in the ASUN tournament.

The Troy ticket

Backing the Wolves to win every time a price was posted, 28 games, returned 9.42 units; only 20 Division I teams did better. Eleven of those units came from one night, 93-89 at Troy on 1 December at +1100. Without it the other 27 priced games lost 1.58.

As underdogs, the 20 priced games returned 9.7 units; 20 Division I teams made more that way. Other upsets were smaller, 74-66 over Queens at +285 and 84-78 over Lipscomb at +210.

Home and away

At home: 10-5 and 9 covers in 13. Away: 4-11 and 9 covers in 15. Home and road moneylines both made money, 4.58 units at home on 13 priced games and 5.3 away on 13.

Opponents

Queens beat West Georgia twice in three meetings, the last in the ASUN quarterfinal, yet the Wolves covered all three. Tennessee Tech split two, the second an 87-59 rout at West Georgia with the Wolves favored at -142.

The total

Sixteen overs and 14 unders. West Georgia allowed 79.59 points a game, and only 42 Division I teams allowed more, yet the over and the under came in close to evenly, so there is no total angle here.
