Campana’s sleeper: Washington Redskins (Campana is 87-23 on the year)

I bet against the Seattle Seahawks last week, and I’ll do it again. Washington has a better quarterback than Houston had even with Deshaun Watson healthy in Kirk Cousins. I believe this is a make-or-break game for the ‘Skins and they will come out of a tough environment with a win.

Decker’s sleeper: Dallas Cowboys (Decker is 65-45 on the year)

Zeke’s final game for a while will be a win. Dak makes big plays and their defense will find a way to stop the Chiefs at home.

Kass’ sleeper: Detroit Lions (Kass is 62-48 on the year)

I think the Packers without Rodgers will struggle at Lambeau in front of the faithful.

Devine’s sleeper: San Francisco 49ers (Devine is 76-34 on the year)

The Niners picked up Jimmy Garappolo in a trade this week. The Tom Brady protege will give San Fran their first win of the year.

Leady is 67-43 on the year. No sleeper this week.

Drame is 65-45 on the year. No sleeper this week.
