Both teams have gone OVER two of their three preseason contests following last week's 36-7 blowout win by New Orleans over the Chargers and the Rams' 21-20 victory against Houston. The Saints dominated the Chargers outgaining them 334-166 with 110 rushing yards on 3.4 yards per carry. Tom Savage, Taysom Hill and Drew Brees combined for 21-of-27 for 224 yards with Hill throwing a TD pass and Brees an interception. Jared Goff did not play for the Rams, but Sean Mannion solidified his backup role as he went 11-of-17 for 68 yards with a touchdown and interception and Brandon Allen was 10-of-13 for 63 yards. The Rams rushed for 129 yards on 3.8 yards per carry. The Saints scored more points by themselves last week than the posted total for this matchup and the Rams certainly have enough at the QB position with Mannion and Allen to put up some points. This one finishes OVER.
