The St. Louis Rams regular season wins total betting odds for 2015 were coming in at OVER/UNDER 8 with the UNDER priced at -165.
There was some concern over the Rams offensive line and its ability to gel as the preseason was coming to a close.
The Rams' starting unit produced a mere three points in losses to the Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans, two teams expected to be bottom feeders in 2015.
"We're moving people around, so guys are getting a lot of valuable experience, especially Garrett (Reynolds)," head coach Jeff Fisher said. "Garrett's playing guard and playing tackle. Same with Demetrius (Rhaney) playing guard and center. So that's really valuable experience for him."
Newly acquired starting quarterback Nick Foles wasn’t about to hit the panic button just yet though he emphasized the importance of correcting issues prior to the start of the regular season, otherwise there may actually be value in that -165 UNDER 8.
“During the preseason, you keep it vanilla, but at the same time you still want to execute," Foles said. "You still want to move the ball. You’re still playing football. Is the whole playbook in the game? No, but do we need to execute better? Absolutely. That’s on us. That’s on me. We have to execute better and that’s something that coming out here today was a point of emphasis and that’s each and every day.”
For his part, Foles has struggled after starting the preseason off with a bang, completing his first two passes for 61 yards.
Foles is 6 of 12 for 87 yards with no touchdowns and an interception that was returned for a touchdown last week against the Titans.
