NFL FREE PICK: Take the over. According to latest NFL trends, the over is 4-1 in the Rams’ last five games overall and 4-1 in their last five games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous games. The over is also 5-2 in the Rams’ last seven games versus a team with a losing record and 4-1 in the Texans’ last home games versus a team with a losing road record. This game could turn into a turnover fest on both sides of the ball and thus, set up plenty of scoring chances throughout the game. The Rams had, and allowed, several big plays last week versus the Jaguars and Matt Schaub is probably good for another pick-6 at some point. Look for the combined score to go over the total.
