The Cleveland Browns carry an 0-14 SU and 3-11 ATS record with them into Sunday’s road game against the Chicago Bears. With a road date against the Pittsburgh Steelers scheduled for Week 17, the Browns will in all likelihood need a win this week if they hope to avoid an 0-16 record in 2017.
- The Bears are 0-7 SU and ATS in their last seven games as favorites.
- The Browns are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games in the early afternoon.
- The total has gone OVER in seven of the Bears’ last eight games in Week 16.
One week removed from a competitive overtime loss against the Green Bay Packers, the Browns were back to their doormat ways with a 27-10 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Since October 18, 2015, the Browns are a miserable 2-39 SU and 8-31-2 ATS, making them one of the NFL’s most consistently profitable fades over the last three seasons.
Mitch Trubisky was terrible in Chicago’s 20-10 loss to the Detroit Lions last Sunday, throwing three interceptions with one touchdown to bring his season touchdown-to-interception ratio to 7-to-7. The rookie quarterback had a new career high in passing yards with 314 but made some costly mistakes along the way to lead the Bears to their sixth loss in seven games. The Bears are 4-1 SU in their last five games against Cleveland.
