Campana’s sleeper: Miami Dolphins (Campana is 63-22 on the year)
It’s weird to see that I’m putting a team against the Jets as a sleeper, but the Dolphins just haven’t been consistent. New York played New England hard last week, but then reminded us as to why they are the “same ‘ole Jets.” I think they’ll find a way to show us that again this week. Being a Jets fan, this is painful to write.
Devine’s sleeper: Arizona Cardinals (Devine is 53-32 on the year)
The Cardinals showed they are a rejuvenated team with Adrian Peterson in the backfield. That’s the kind of fire they needed, as they are no longer one-dimensional through the air. I’m giving them the win over LA.
Decker’s sleeper: Los Angeles Chargers (Decker is 44-41 on the year)
Melvin Gordon has caught fire and the Broncos defense wasn’t up to standard against a backup Giants offense. The Chargers are starting to piece it together and I think they will win in a close game.
Drame’s sleeper: Los Angeles Chargers (Drame is 48-37 on the year)
Kass’ sleeper: New York Giants (Kass is 45-40 on the year)
My sleeper this week is the Giants. I feel like with Ben McAdoo giving up play calling duties, the offense can roll.
Leady is 49-36 on the year. No sleeper this week.
