Ohio and Georgia Southern are playing much differently in recent weeks.
The Eagles (6-6) have lost their last four games. Meanwhile, Ohio (9-3) has won its last three contests. But with a couple weeks off, things could change in the Myrtle Beach Bowl, a matchup between those two Group of Five programs.

Georgia Southern vs. Ohio Prediction
I’m picking Ohio to win and cover the spread at +3.5. I also am predicting the game will go Under 48.5 total points.
Georgia Southern’s offense has had some highlight moments this season. But I think Ohio’s defense will prove to be better.
The Bobcats rank fifth in the FBS in scoring defense, having allowed 15.42 points per game. I think they will want to rely on their strengths on that side of the ball, control the game at the line of scrimmage, and find a way to win in a low-scoring, one-possession contest.
