Chicago Bears vs. Cleveland Browns Analysis
The Chicago Bears are not going to reach the postseason in 2023, unless a miracle happens. But, what the Bears could do is spoil plans for other teams. The Browns are in the postseason hunt, and the Falcons in Week 17 and Packers in Week 18 are both looking to get in as well. The other game for the Bears is at home in Week 16 against Arizona.
The Bears also can play for their head coach Matt Eberflus, and even General Manager Ryan Poles. Chicago is also playing to figure out what they want to do at the quarterback position going forward. Is Justin Fields going to be the starter next year, or will they go and draft a quarterback?
Fields has thrown for 1,810 yards and 13 touchdowns in 9 games played this season. The quarterback is also the leading rusher for the Raiders with 458 yards and two touchdowns on the season.
Joe Flacco is the fourth starting quarterback of the season for Cleveland. With Deshaun Watson out for the season, and PJ Walker and Dorian Thompson not getting the job done, it’s the veteran Flacco. In two games, Flacco has thrown the football 89 times. He has five touchdowns and two interceptions.
Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt have split the load at running back with the loss of Nick Chubb this season. Ford has 166 carries, while Hunt has 111. Hunt leads the way with 7 rushing touchdowns on the season.
The Browns are 6-1 at home this season. The lone home loss for Cleveland this season came in Week 4 to the Baltimore Ravens. Cleveland has a game at Houston next week, before hosting the Jets in Week 17 and playing at the Bengals in Week 18.

Chicago Bears vs. Cleveland Browns Betting Pick and Prediction
The Chicago Bears are not a fun team to play right now. The Bears are playing great defense right now, and doing a good job of taking care of the football. Chicago is doing a good job of running the football, and then when needed opening it up with some passing. Justin Fields is playing really solid. It will take a good effort from the defense for Cleveland to contain him. Fields came back to Ohio, where he played his College Football at Ohio State. This should be a fun return.
The Bears are going to keep this close, and in fact, with the better-starting quarterback winning this game, Chicago wins their third straight game here. Bet the Chicago Bears +150 on the moneyline over the Cleveland Browns. Hope you enjoyed our Bears vs Browns best bets!
