Houston is 5-0 ATS in week 10, 5-2 after a straight up loss and overall, 34-16-1 after scoring less than 15 points, 3-7-1 after allowing more than 250 passing yards, 1-5 on grass, and 1-6 against teams with winning home records.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles is 4-1 ATS overall, 6-2 in week 10, 2-5-2 in November, 5-16-1 after passing for more than 250 yards, 2-8-1 at home and on grass, 2-8 after gaining 350 yards or more, 1-5 against teams with losing records, and 1-5-1 against teams with losing road records.<\/p>\n

Up until a couple of weeks ago this would have been a battle of two of the top young quarterbacks in the league. However, the Watson injury put a damper on that. Houston is ravaged by injuries, while the Rams are relatively healthy. I think 11 points is a little much but I think the Rams win a close high scoring game.<\/p>\n
