The Houston Texans (1-0) will travel west to take on the Los Angeles Rams (1-0) in Week 2 of the preseason. Friday’s kickoff will be at 10 p.m. ET from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Texans vs. Rams odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Texans beat the New Orleans Saints 17-13 at home in their preseason opener. QB Davis Mills only attempted 3 passes and completed all of them for a total of 14 yards, but he’ll likely play more in the 2nd game as the regular season approaches.
The Rams won a back-and-forth game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night, beating their in-town opponents 29-22. QB Matthew Stafford and the rest of the team’s starters did not play and they won’t play against the Texans either. Sean McVay likes to play it safe with his top players.
