Stephen Nover's NFL Point Spread Crusher
(NFL) Washington vs. Buffalo, 09/26/2021 1:00 PM, Score: 21 - 43
Point Spread: -7.00 | -110.00 Buffalo (Home)
Result: Win
Taylor Heinicke is a nice story. But Josh Allen is close to superstar status. I see Allen getting right and Buffalo's defense, which looks far more like its dominant self of 2019 than last season, handling Heinicke and a much more limited Washington offense.

Washington's defense has yet to live up to expectations. Buffalo has upgraded its pass rush to go with a strong back seven on defense. This is Heinicke's first road start. The Bills have the defensive coaching with Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier and talent to make it very rough on him, while Allen gets untracked against Washington's mediocre linebackers and average secondary.
