Buffalo is the smart favorite in this one. Washington has struggled through two weeks, despite winning in Week 2. The defense, which is supposed to be the team’s strength, has struggled in both games.
Can Washington pull off the upset? It will undoubtedly need a strong performance from its defense to move to 2-1 on the season.
