One of the later games on the NFL schedule for Sunday sees two 2024 division winners go head to head as the Los Angeles Rams host the Houston Texans. The Rams are coming off a 10-7 campaign that saw them win the NFC West while Houston also won 10 games last year for its second AFC South title in a row. Each side won a game in the wild card round as the Rams topped the Vikings before narrowly falling to the future champs, the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Texans beat the Los Angeles Chargers before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs. 

The total is set at 44 points, but could we see fireworks fly when these two playoff contenders face off?

Top Texans-Rams anytime touchdown props:

Nick Chubb, +205

Nick Chubb is with a new team for the first time in his NFL career. After serving as the Cleveland Browns' lead back since 2018, Chubb is now in Houston after a devastating knee injury cost him most of 2023 and clearly impacted his play in 2024. Chubb was initially signed to be a No. 2 back behind Joe Mixon, but Mixon may not play at all this year due to an injury of his own. Chubb is set to serve as the Texans' clear No. 1 back for Week 1, which could lead him to finding the end zone, even if Houston leans on the passing game. If you think Chubb can bounce back and be even close to his former self, Sunday seems like a good place to start, given his main competition for touches is Dameon Pierce, who has fallen out of favor in Houston and had just 40 rushes last year.

Davante Adams, +145

Another big name in a new place, Davante Adams had a rollercoaster 2024, going from Vegas to New York to pair up again with Aaron Rodgers. The Rams cut Cooper Kupp and effectively replaced him with Adams, who even in a down year had over 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns. Head coach and play caller Sean McVay will certainly be looking to get Adams the ball in his Los Angeles debut, and while Puka Nacua occupies a lot of attention from opposing defenses, he has just nine career touchdowns in 28 games. Adams, meanwhile, has 103 career scores to his name, and getting his first in a Rams uniform in Week 1 is hardly out of the question.
