LA Rams Betting Preview
The LA Rams look for another preseason win after beating the Cowboys in their opener. The LA Rams have lost 5 of their last 6 preseason games. The LA Rams racked up 12 points and 316 yards while allowing 13 points and 309 yards. In the winning effort, Stetson Bennett threw for 224 yards, 1 touchdown and 4 interceptions. Boston Scott led the LA Rams with 68 rushing yards on 15 carries, while Jordan Whittington and Sam Wiglusz combined for 110 receiving yards on 9 receptions. Jason Taylor II led the LA Rams with 7 tackles, Zach VanValkenburg had 1 sack and Tyler Davis had 2 tackles for loss.
LA Chargers Betting Preview
The LA Chargers look for their first preseason win after losing last week to the Seahawks. The LA Chargers have lost 7 of their last 9 preseason games. The LA Chargers racked up 3 points and 198 yards while allowing 16 points and 325 yards. In the losing effort, Luis Perez threw for 61 yards, while Max Duggan completed 4 of 7 passes for 41 yards. Jaret Patterson led the LA Chargers with 38 rushing yards on 7 carries, while Jaylen Johnson and Simi Fehoko combined for 69 receiving yards on 4 receptions. Nick Niemann led the LA Chargers with 12 tackles, Troy Dye had 1 sack and Shane Lee had 1 tackle for loss.
LA Chargers vs LA Rams Prediction
Neither the Chargers nor Rams have had preseason success over the last couple of seasons, so I’m looking at the points where I can get them. Also, the Rams managed to win last week despite Stetson Bennett throwing 4 interceptions. Bennett can’t possibly play any worse, and you’d expect him to perform better as he gets more reps under his belt. I have little to no faith in the Chargers offensive backups, and the lack of weapons and questionable offensive line doesn’t provide much confidence. This is also going to be a home game for the Rams, since the Chargers get no love out west. I’ll gladly take the points with the Rams in this spot.
