Bills vs Washington prediction, odds and picks - September 26 | NFL Season 2021-22
The Buffalo Bills entered the 2021 NFL season as clear favorites to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC title. After a tough Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where both Josh Allen's offense and the team's defense looked off, the Bills rebounded in a big way in a 35-0 rout of the Miami Dolphins.
The Washington Football Team, on the other hand, lost starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Taylor Heinicke made the start against the New York Giants last Thursday night, as a game-winning field goal secured Washington's first win of the season.
With both Washington and the Bills at 1-1, who will advance to 2-1 and who will fall to a losing record after Week 3?
10,000 Pass Yards and counting 👏

Washington Football Team vs Buffalo Bills picks
The Buffalo Bills were able to shut out the Miami Dolphins last week, and while that might not happen again, the Bills defense could hold the Washington offense at bay.
Taylor Heinicke was impressive last season and equally impressive last week, when he had to take over the reins. But whether Heinicke and the offense will be able to get one past a tough Bills defense that prides itself on combating the running and passing game seems a bit of a tall order.
What a journey it's been for Taylor Heinicke 🤯
‣ Unranked in HS
‣ Undrafted in 2015
‣ Cut/waived four times
‣ Backup in the XFL
‣ Signed to Washington's practice squad in 2020
