Bears vs. Browns key players to watch
Chicago Bears
DJ Moore: The Bears would be smart to continue to feed DJ Moore the ball. He has over 1,000 receiving yards on the season and has found the end zone seven times. He's been their best weapon on a weekly basis and he's their best chance to beat this stout Browns defense.
Cleveland Browns
Joe Flacco: Off the street, Joe Flacco has returned to pro football has looked fantastic, most notably in Week 14 against the Jaguars. Flacco passed for 311 yards and three touchdowns in the team's win last Sunday. If he can keep up this level of play, there's a chance this Browns team could go on a playoff run.
Bears vs. Browns prediction and pick
I'm not fully convinced the Browns are going to continue to win with their offense and now their injury report is extensive. Their offensive line specifically is banged up, with their center, Ethan Pocic, questionable for Sunday, and their offensive tackle Dawand Jones, out for the season. That's their third offensive tackle that has suffered a season-ending injury.
Meanwhile, the Bears have played some solid football lately, especially on defense. If they were able to shut down the Lions this past weekend, you can be certain they'll be able to shut down the likes of Joe Flacco.
I'll take the Bears as my upset pick of the week.
