Close to 80% of tracked NFL bettors are taking the Buffalo Bills (4-2) to cover the point spread on Sunday against the Washington Redskins (3-3). Buffalo is a 6-point home favorite after opening up at -4.5 in this 4:05 PM ET game, while the total sits at 45.5.
The Redskins are just 1-2 on the road this year while the Bills have put together a perfect 3-0 mark in Buffalo.
Quarterback John Beck (396 yards, 57.7%, 1 TD, 1 INT) hasn’t really looked any better than former starter Rex Grossman (1132 yards, 55.8%, 6 TD, 9 INT) since being named as the main man in Washington.
The Redskins lost 20-33 at the Carolina Panthers last week after naming Beck the starting quarterback, and Washington has also lost against the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys this season.
Their wins have come over the St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals, and New York Giants.
Washington has seen 4 of their last 5 games go under the total, and the Redskins haven’t covered the point spread in either of their last 2.
The Bills have gone over the total in every single one of their games this season, while Buffalo has also covered the point spread in 2 of their 3 home games.
These teams last met up in 2007 when the Bills went on the road to grab a 17-16 win as 6.5-point underdogs.
Buffalo holds wins over the Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, and Philadelphia Eagles this year.
They’ve been on the wrong end of the final score in road games against the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants, with both losses this season being by a field goal each. Buffalo was received strong play from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (1477 yards, 66.3%, 12 TD, 6 INT).
