Odds from Betonline.ag
Houston did get a win in the opening week of the preseason. However, that game was against the Saints and the Saints have struggled at times in the past and have not been that impressive in the preseason to begin with. The Rams were able to dominate against a Chargers team that has been fairly impressive at times and that will definitely show up in this game here as I see the Rams pulling out the win, but also for the total to go on the under as I do not see the Texans putting up enough points to help the Rams bring the total over.
