The Super Bowl LVI champions, the Los Angeles Rams, continue their success. They got their first win in the preseason game against the cross-town rivals Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 22-29. After starting at a disadvantage in the first quarter, they were able to progress in the second one and seize the lead in the scoreboard for the first time in the match in the third quarter. They made more mistakes in the fourth quarter, but scored a touchdown to secure the victory.
After identifying their own weaknesses, the Rams should show improvement for this game against an opponent that was also solid in its first match of the season.
Betting on the Houston Texans
- Record: 1-0
- Spread: +1.5
- Moneyline: +100
- Over/Under: 37.5
The Houston Texans performed well in their first preseason game and that helped them to a 17-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Starting this stage with a win could be definitely good for the Texan franchise’s confidence. They started the first quarter at a disadvantage, but by the second quarter they managed to even the score. They did not score any points in the third quarter, and neither did their opponent, but in the final period, they replicated what was done in the second quarter to win the match.
Despite the fact that head coach Lovie Smith has only been with the team for a short time, his influence is already being felt, and good things are to come.
JefeBet Prediction
The Rams will once again play in Los Angeles and will look to continue to bring joy to the fans. They arrive as favorites to this clash, especially if we remember that in October 2021 they won by a score of 38-22 against this rival.
Prediction: Rams win.
