The Washington Capitals typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Buffalo proved too difficult a challenge. Buffalo took their matchup against the Rams 32-18. Buffalo relied on the efforts of QB Aaron Rodgers, who passed for two TDs and 296 yards on 36 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown, and RB Aaron Jones, who punched in one rushing touchdown. Rodgers' 58-yard touchdown toss up the middle to WR Allen Lazard in the fourth quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the evening.
Buffalo Sabres defense was a presence as well, as it got past Los Angeles' offensive line to sack QB Jared Goff four times for a total loss of 26 yards. It was a group effort with three guys contributing.
Meanwhile, Washington earned some more postseason success in their game this past Sunday. They were able to grind out a solid win over the New Orleans Saints, winning 30-20. The score was all tied up at the break 13-13, but the Capitals were the better team in the second half. It was another big night for their QB Tom Brady, who passed for two TDs and 199 yards on 33 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown. Brady ended up with a passer rating of 125.20.
Washington's defense was the real showstopper, as it collected three interceptions and one fumble. Those interceptions were spread across their defensive unit.
Buffalo is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
