Sleeper
The New England Patriots destroyed the Cleveland Brown in Week 10 by a score of 45-7. The win gave New England a four-game winning streak and with that, eyes should be turn toward the Patriots, who were +2800 before Week 10 and are now +2000 to win Super Bowl 56. New England are heavy favorites against the staggering Falcons. The two clubs meet on Thursday night.
Super Bowl 56 Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There’s plenty of time left in the NFL season, but Tampa Bay is at the top of the NFC South with a 6-3 record and Tom Brady is healthy. That’s reason enough to lean toward the Buccaneers to become repeat Super Bowl champions.
