This Sunday afternoon at 1 PM EST the (5-6) Buffalo Bills roll into FedExField in Landover Maryland to take on my beloved original hometown (5-6) Washington Redskins.
My Redskins are mourning the devastating loss of Sean Taylor, so this will be a very emotional game for them. They will honour his memory before the game, and they will wear a No. 21 logo on their helmets.
The Redskins are 3-2 at home so far this season, and 2-1 against AFC East teams (beating the Dolphins and the Jets, and losing badly to the Patriots).
Both the Redskins and the Bills lost in Florida last Sunday. The Redskins lost 19-13 to the Buccaneers in Tampa, and the Bills lost to the Jaguars 36-14 in Jacksonville.
The Redskins are 5½ to 6 point favourites at home with an over-under of 37 points. That would roughly equate to a score of Redskins 21 Bills 16. I’ll go with this prediction:
Redskins 37 Bills 12
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS !
