UPDATE 9:30 A.M. ET SATURDAY, DEC. 16: As noted below, the transfer portal is leading to significant line movement in this matchup and several others. DraftKings Sportsbook opened Ohio -1.5 back on Dec. 3 and got as high as Ohio -3 on Dec. 4. Then on Dec. 5, the line rapidly moved through several numbers while jumping the fence to Georgia Southern -3.
Georgia topped out at -4 Dec. 5 and has since slowly backed up. The Eagles are now -2.5 (-115), while taking 67% of spread bets/84% of spread money.

DraftKings opened the total at 54 and by Dec. 5 had cratered to 49. Monday brought another dip to 48, but the line rebounded to 49 by Friday. The Under is taking 56% of bets/71% of cash.
UPDATE 2 P.M. ET FRIDAY, DEC. 15: This line has seen a huge swing since opening back on Dec. 4. That's due in no small part to a few Ohio players hitting the transfer portal, including quarterback Kurtis Rourke.
BetMGM opened Ohio -2.5 in its college football bowl odds market, and the Bobcats got to -3 shortly thereafter. But Dec. 4 brought Rourke's announcement, moving the number straight to Georgia Southern -1, then -3/-3.5, all on Dec. 5. The Eagles are now -3.5 (-105).
Spread ticket count is almost 2/1 and spread money 3/1 plus on Georgia Southern.
The total opened at 54.5 and by Dec. 5 plunged all the way to 48.5. Wednesday brought a rebound to 49.5, but it's now at 48.5 again. Tickets are almost 4/1 and money 8/1 on the Under.

Myrtle Beach Bowl Pick, Prediction
Action Network college football betting expert Collin Wilson offers this prediction:
Ohio opened as a favorite in this game after defeating three straight teams that did not make a bowl. Then, the floodgates of the transfer portal opened, and Ohio lost its biggest contributors at the offensive skills position.
Quarterback Kurtis Rourke, running back Sieh Bangura and two of the top targets are not expected to play in this game. Georgia Southern, meanwhile, had very few transfer portal losses.
Quarterback Davis Brin should thrive with short passing against the Bobcats' Cover 3 defense. This is a great opportunity for Eagles head coach Clay Helton to pick up his first cover in his sixth bowl game.
Pick: Georgia Southern -3.5
