The Chicago Bears somehow find themselves in the mix for the playoffs as they are 13th in the NFC with a 5-8 record. They do come in on a two-game winning streak. The Cleveland Browns have been playing well despite a ton of injuries. They are the fifth seed in the AFC with an 8-5 record. The Bears' offense is putting up 20.8 points a game. They are fourth in the league with 138.0 rushing yards a game and will need to establish the run to minimize the Brown’s pass rush. The defense is giving up 23.8 points per game but has been playing better since Montez Sweat joined the defense. They have allowed just 23 combined points over the last two games. The Cleveland Browns are putting up 22.2 points a game. They are a dominant running team ranking seventh in the NFL. Joe Flacco has been playing well since joining the team. This defense has allowed just 20.9 points a game but will be without their leading tackler and second-best pass rusher. Chicago is allowing 16.8 points in their previous four games while Cleveland is giving up a remarkable 30.7 points in their last three games. Chicago can continue winning games with a chance to make the playoffs and be locked into the top pick in the NFL draft. Cleveland will be without two top defensive players, both offensive tackles and a guard. Sweat has made a huge difference to the Bears pass rush and Flacco is not that mobile. I think the Bears' defense will be the difference and the Bears have a great chance to win this game outright.
