Lovie Smith took over the Texans in Feb and I think you'll see a strong effort here in the pre-season. He is a defensive minded coach.
IN week 1 the Rams won but they totaled just 232 yards and were gifted SIX 1st downs by penalties with the Chargers having 120 penalty yards accepted.
The Rams now 3-7 SU their L10 and happy to run the ball (only 17 pass att’s last week).
Hou HC Lovie Smith has a winning preseason record and they had 3 INT's last week and still held the Saints to just 13 pts.
Houston also had an eye-opening 5 sacks in game last week.
According to Smith, the Houston Texans’ plans for how many reps the starters will have in preseason won’t change just because a game has been taken away.
“No, it doesn’t change,” Smith told reporters Aug. 15th. Keep in mind, practices, preseason games, it’s all a part of the plan to get ready for the regular season and we want that winning mentality.”
I like the Texans to get the win here so lay the -2 on Friday night!
