Georgia Southern Eagles

It is probably a good thing that the Eagles got to 6 wins and bowl eligible with some games to spare, as things went off the rails in a big way in the final month of the regular season. After jumping out tom a 6-2 record, Georgia Southern went in the tank in a big way, losing their final 4 games of the season to end the year at 6-6. Perhaps more concerning was that the defense looked more than a little shaky in those 4 losses, giving up an average of close to 40 PPG during that losing skid. As well as losing those games straight up, the Eagles also made it tough on the bettors against the spread. They have covered just once in their last 7 games, with the UNDER hitting in 6 of their last 7 games played in the month of December. If the D cannot get back on track, that trend might well be in danger.

Ohio +3.5 | +145 | U 49

Georgia Southern -3.5 | -170 | O 49

Ohio Bobcats

The Bobcats made a strong push at the end of the regular season as they looked to win the East Division in the MAC. They won their final 3 games, but that was not enough to get them past Miami-OH, who were able to hold off the late charge by the Bobcats. While they will certainly be disappointed to have missed out on the MAC Conference Championship Game, their 9-3 record is still not to be sneezed at. The Bobcats have been a very decent bet in games played in the month of December, going 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7, although they are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games this season. The UNDER has hit in 12 of their last 16, but it should be noted that the OVER has hit in each of their last 7 games versus a team from the Sun Belt Conference.

Myrtle Beach Bowl Georgia Southern Vs Ohio Score Prediction

You have to wonder about the mindset of the Eagles coming into this one after ending the regular season on such a low note. I think the Bobcats are a great bet here to win and cover the spread, plus I also like the OVER.
