The Chicago Bears are hoping to bounce back from a loss in Green Bay when they host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon.

That loss ended the Bears’ five-game winning streak, while the Browns suffered their second straight loss and fifth in the last six games on Sunday against Tennessee.

Can the Bears get back on track at home?

Browns vs. Bears Key Player to Watch

Caleb Williams, Quarterback, Chicago Bears

Caleb Williams is still going through some growing pains this season, but the Bears have been getting results, and that’s mostly what matters for quarterbacks. 

Williams ranks 11th in the league with 2,908 passing yards and is tied for 12th with 19 passing touchdowns. He also has three scores on the ground, but none in the last four games.

Myles Garrett and the Cleveland defense will present a good test for Williams and the Bears. We’ll see if he can pass it on Sunday in Cleveland.

Browns vs. Bears Prediction and Pick

This game is lined fairly accurately. At any spread less than a touchdown, it’s an easy Bears pick. If it gets to +8.5 or even double digits, the Browns look like the play.

Cleveland’s offense came alive against Tennessee on Sunday, but the Bears’ defense is a lot better than the Titans’. And we know how good the Browns’ defense can be.

I’ll take the under here as I expect Cleveland to return to its 10-14 points range with Chicago getting in the low 20s.

Pick: Under 40.5 (-108)
