Redskins Bills Line for NFL Week 8
On Sunday the Buffalo Bills will take on the Washington Redskins in a game that will attract thousands of Canadian NFL fans, as it will be played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. This change of venue is a result of a $78 million five-year deal signed in 2008 between the Buffalo Bills and a Toronto-based company to host one game a year north of the border.
That game will see both the Buffalo Bills and their rivals the Washington Redskins travel to Toronto, where according to NFL bookmakers Pinnaclesports.com, Buffalo will start as the -6 point favorites (O/U 45.5) as per the Redskins Bills line.

Buffalo Bills are Second in AFC East
It's not hard to see why Buffalo have been laid as the favorites in Sunday's game in Toronto. They are currently second in the AFC East division with none-too-shabby winning record of 4-2, have had a chance to recouperate during their bye week and have the knowledge that they've beaten the Redskins in all of their last six meetings.
That said, the Bills have yet to win a game in Canada, a hex that will no doubt be in the back of their minds. Plus, they'll go into Sunday's game with a host of injured players. These include receiver Donald Jones, left tackle Demetrius Bell, defensive tackle Kyle Williams and linebacker Shawne Merriman, who have a host of injuries between them.
The big question going into this weekend's game is whether the Bills can make up
for the loss of some of their key players with other team members. Judging by
how well they have played on average so far this season (despite losing their
last game by a close 27-24 to the New York Giants last time out), the answer is
of course they can.
Washington Redskins are Third in NFC East
The Redskins are currently lying third in the NFC East division with an average record of 3-3, and will be up against it on Sunday considering they are still be recovering from their bruising showdown last week against the Carolina Panthers, who crushed them 33-20.
In fact, as proof of how tough that game was, Washington wide receiver Santana Moss suffered a broken hand which means he'll be out for the next few weeks, while tight end Chris Cooley was also put on the injured list as was veteran linebacker London Fletcher, who incredibly until now had not missed even a single game in his 14-year career.
So, the Redskins will have to make do with a young crew on Sunday, including the likes of wide receivers Anthony Armstrong, Jabar Gaffney and Niles Paul, as well as running backs Roy Helu and Ryan Torain. Quarterback John Beck will make his second consecutive start for the team, and will no doubt be feeling the pressure to win in Toronto.
