The Guardians had a disastrous Week 1, losing 33-12 to Houston. Their QBs, Paxton Lynch and Quinten Dormady, threw a total of three interceptions and were sacked seven times.
However, their offensive line should also take some of the blame, as it appears to be the worst in the league. Despite this, Orlando's run game was effective, so it may rely on it more in the upcoming game. On a positive note, the Guardians have an above-average defense, so their games may have lower scores in the future.
San Antonio had a heartbreaking 18-15 loss in Week 1 to St. Louis and will be without their top WR, Landen Akers, due to an injury. Already a run-heavy offense, the Brahmas will rely on the ground game even more without Akers.
The current total of 38.5 seems too high for two teams that will likely lean on the run and struggle to put up points. I’m projecting this total closer to 36.
Pick: Under 38.5.
