Georgia Southern vs Ohio Prediction, Odds & Picks
As they face the Ohio Bobcats (9-3, 5-6-1 ATS) in the Myrtle Beach Bowl, the Georgia Southern Eagles (6-6, 4-7-1 ATS) didn’t exactly storm their way into bowl season. They lost their last four games and barely remained bowl-eligible.

Still, it’s the Eagles that oddsmakers are expecting to soar in this game. They are set as the 3.5-point chalk in the Georgia Southern vs Ohio odds. The Bobcats are 3-3 against the spread away from home this season.
