You can only sponsor your brother if you sponsor your mother through PGP.

Now have another question. My wife is sponsoring her parents (mother and father) this year. Can I sponsor my mother and brother at the same time? My wife can be a cosigner on my file and I can be a cosigner on her file. We are a family of 4 and in total, we will be sponsoring 4 people (her mother and father and my mother and brother). Both our salary combined is more than 93247 which is good for 8 people.

You can try. Everyone keeps saying they will sponsor their parents this year but really you are attempting to sponsor since the sign-up hasn't happened yet. Your income needs to be able to cover 8 people for the 3 past years.
