Browns vs Bears Prediction
In this Browns vs Bears Prediction, the Bears are coming as -7.5-point home favorites. The Bears have been the far better team this season, having three times as many wins as the Browns have and have been almost perfect at home. They are coming into this matchup red-hot, with a 9-2 record in their last 11 games and 8-2-1 against the spread. On the flip side, the Browns have been bad throughout the season and terrible on the road with just one win. They are also 2-4 against the spread in their last 6 games and have the 4th-worst offense in the league, compared to Chicago’s 8th-best. I expect the hosts to get the job done comfortably today, so take the Bears and lay the -7.5 at home.
