TOP 5 SLEEPER DEFENSES (Includes Special Teams)

1. Cleveland - They looked great lst week, try them again this week for some turnovers and possible scores.
2. Jacksonville - They need the win badly.
3. Dallas - The defense is gelling and they are at home against San Francisco.
4. Atlanta - They can and will show up bg in a divisional matchup.
5. Seattle - They have Hasslebeck back, they are at home, and they are getting better. We think they can upset Washington and they will need allot from the defense.
