Rams vs Texans prediction

My best bet
Under 34.5 (-115 at FanDuel)

My analysis

The Los Angeles Rams have only played one quarterback for the entirety of the preseason, and that is second-year man Stetson Bennett. With Matthew Stafford as the obvious starter and Jimmy Garoppolo as the clear-cut backup, Sean McVay is trying to get Bennett as much experience as possible.

Unfortunately for the former Georgia Bulldogs star, Bennett threw four interceptions in a 13-12 win over the Cowboys and then registered both a pick and a fumble in a 13-9 win over the Chargers. 

Meanwhile, we will likely see Davis Mills get the start for the Houston Texans, with Case Keenum and Tim Boyle finishing things off. Another battle to watch will be at the running back position for the Texans, as Cam Akers is fighting for a roster spot with Dare Ogunbowale and rookie Jawhar Jordan. Houston will also see receivers Robert Woods and Ben Skowronek battling it out on the depth chart.

The Rams have pulled out some ugly low-scoring wins in their first two preseason games, and I will stick the Under considering the Texans have also held their opponents to low totals in each of the last two weeks.
