What Is Over/Under NFL Betting?
Over/under bets in NFL betting are different from soccer betting. Instead of betting on the score being over or under for specific teams, you are betting on whether the total combined points of both NFL teams are over or under a certain amount. Hence, if you bet the teams will have over a total of 50 points, their combined totals must equal 51 points or higher for the bet to win.

How the Rams Offensive and Defensive Lineups Impact Over/Under NFL Betting
The team's quarterback, Matthew Stafford, instigates passes that fly far through the field, impacting the game’s points in multiple ways. The star receiver, Cooper Kupp can successfully guide the football to the touchdown zone with prowess. These two players’ strong relationship advances the team’s offensive lineup, increasing the likelihood that bettors can place an overbet.

Aaron Donald (defensive lineman) and Jalen Ramsey (cornerback) were usually the star players propelling the Rams’ defensive lineups to success when Ramsey used to be with the team.
