Texans vs Rams Betting Pick
This game will be played at SoFi Stadium at 10:00 PM ET on Friday, August 19, 2022.
Why Bet The Texans:
✅ The Texans’ starters should play a few drives in this clash. On the other side, the Rams head coach Sean McVay prefers to keep his starters on the sidelines in the preseason. Hereof, the reigning champs’ depth will be properly tested, as Houston desperately needs to build up chemistry in the preseason games.
✅ Houston’s offensive line did an excellent job in the preseason opener. The Texans beat the New Orleans Saints 17-14, allowing just one sack on the night. Also, the Texans ran 24 times for 99 yards, averaging solid 4.1 yards per rush.
