The Myrtle Beach Bowl features Georgia Southern vs. Ohio. We've seen the line on this game move from Eagles -2.5 to -3.5 over the first few days after release.
Despite the Bobcats 9-3 record, it's the 6-6 Eagles that are favored in this one. Both teams pretty much sit at the .500 mark Against The Spread. We actually get a line of 3.89 Bobcats.
Ohio has recorded consecutive nine-win regular seasons for the first time in school history and are winners of their last three games.
The Eagles were bowl eligible by the end of October, but lost their past four games. This will mark the sixth time in nine seasons that the Eagles are playiing in a bowl game.
"We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to conclude our season at the Myrtle Beach Bowl and are thankful for the invitation to play in their great bowl," said head coach Clay Helton. "Having the opportunity to represent Georgia Southern and the Sun Belt Conference as one of a record-setting 12 bowl teams is not something we take lightly. Congratulations to the Ohio football team on a great season, and we're looking forward to this matchup on December 16th. I can't wait to see all of Eagle Nation in Conway!"
Georgia Southern has previous bowl victories in the GoDaddy Bowl (2015), Camellia Bowl (2018) and New Orleans Bowl (2020) and appeared in the 2019 Cure Bowl and 2022 Camellia Bowl.
This will represent the first time these two teams are meeting.
Ohio QB Kurtis Rourke, recorded 2,207 yards passing, 11 touchdowns, five interceptions on the season while Georgia Southern's QB Brin Davis had 3,341 yards passing, 22 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Prop bets will be available for both players.
