Despite Aaron Rodgers leaving the game after only four snaps, the Bills lost 22-16 in overtime against the New York Jets for Monday Night Football in Week 1. However, Buffalo was able to clean things up and bounce back with a strong 38-10 home win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.
The Commanders opened the season at home, sneaking past the Arizona Cardinals 20-16 thanks to a strong fourth quarter. They stumbled early in Week 2 against the Broncos, but stormed back from a 21-3 second quarter deficit to take a 35-24 lead late in the fourth quarter. They join the short list of surprising 2-0 teams.
The Bills reminded us why they have some of the best Super Bowl odds with a dominant performance in Week 2. Buffalo didn’t have many problems covering as road favorites last season, and that trend should continue against an overmatched Washington squad in Week 3.
