Bears vs Browns Plugs Prediction - NFL Picks 12/17/23

- Cleveland Browns (8-5) vs Chicago Bears (5-8)

It's NFL Sunday and we have The Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns taking the field in an NFL showdown at FirstEnergy Stadium. We will look into these two teams and give you insight, facts and a free prediction. Keep reading and I will meet you at the window after the game!

This team might actually have some answers for the league! Just a couple of weeks ago it looked like the Bears might draft a quarterback high in April’s upcoming draft, but Justin Fields has possibly put a stop to all that! Fields has played very good ball over the last couple of weeks, he really has me thinking that he just might still be the best quarterback long term for this Bears team. The Bears have won two games in a row including a 28-13 win over the Lions in their last game. The Bears are averaging about 20 points per game and their defense is giving up around 23 points per game. The offense is ranked 20th and they need to get the offense going here quick and control this pace of the game in order to pull off a win let alone a cover!

I will start this Preview off by saying that I know many people counted out the Browns when Deshaun Watson was no longer at center and I was one of them people, but this Browns team has found a way to stay alive and found a gem in guy named Flacco. In the last game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Browns scored 31 points and took the four point win. Joe Flacco looked like the Flacco of old times! Flacco went out there and completed 26 of his 45 passes for 311 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The Browns defense also caused Trevor Lawrence to throw three interceptions and had him under pressure the entire game. The Browns are averaging about 22 points and their defense is giving up 20 points per game. Today Flacco is going to need to have a huge game and this defense needs to show up again or this game could get ugly for the Browns quick in my opinion! Can the Browns actually start to put it together!?

This won't be pretty and I'm sure it won't be comfortable to bet but this is where the money is today! I know that The Browns looked good in the last game and Flacco looked like the Flacco from back in the day, but I’m still not sold that he’s going to be able to do that again and that this Browns team can continue to give us good games! The Bears defense gave up only 13 points to the Lions in the last game and the defense is going to step up in a big way again in this game. I'm expecting another big game from Justin Fields here and the Bears are going to come out with some momentum and follow suit! The Bears are the underdogs today and that just means we get value with them, because they are going to win this game outright today and pull off this upset and get us a cash! Dont be scared people! Back the Bears on the money line.
