Ohio is entering this game without their star QB in Rourke who is gone from the team. Also not playing are their two top running backs and a host of other players not playing. Ohio's offense will struggle in this game which will help keep the score under this total. On the flip side, Georgia Southern has struggled with offense all season so look for what is left of Ohio's defense to stop many offensive plays by the Eagles. If both teams concentrate on winning this game with their defenses, then this score should stay under the total of 49 points. Seven of GASO's last eight games in the month of December have gone Under the Total points line.

The total has gone Under in 4 of Georgia Southern's last 5 games against an opponent in the Mid-American conference. The total has gone Under in 6 of Georgia Southern's last 7 games played in December. The total has gone UNDER in 12 of Ohio's last 16 games. OHIO U is 14-4 Under in road games off a road win since 1992. GASO are 3-0 to the Under in the last three seasons against MAC opponents. GASO are 4-1 to the Under since 1992 in games played on a neutral field.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
