Buffalo Bills are second in the AFC East with a 5-2 record and in a good position to get a wild card. They look to get another win when hosting the Washington Redskins who are bottom of the NFC East after winning just one of their first eight matches this season. Buffalo may be second in the AFC East but that's behind the all-conquering New England Patriots who are 8-0 for the season. Focus for the Bills has to be on securing a wild card and they are currently filling one of the two places up for grabs. The Bills had a 6-10 record last season so a win over the Redskins will equal the number of wins they had in 2018. They won their first three games of this new season before losing by six points to the Patriots. Two more wins followed before a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend. 

Washington Redskins are 1-7 for the season and their main target will be to get above New York Giants (2-6) and avoid finishing bottom of NFC East. They have Bill Calahan in charge now after sacking coach Jay Gruden after a loss to the Patriots left them 0-5 for the season. As is often the case, a team wins the minute a coach is given the sack. That happened with the Redskins as they edged out Miami Dolphins 17-16. They haven't maintained that form though and have since lost to both the San Franciso 49ers (without getting a point on the scoreboard) and the Minnesota Vikings. Go for the Bills to get the win here and be ahead at both half and full time.
