Week 3 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Browns

The Chicago Bears will face off against the Cleveland Browns, where rookie quarterback Justin Fields will make his first NFL start in place of an injured Andy Dalton.

The Bears are coming off an encouraging defensive outing, where they totaled four takeaways against the Cincinnati Bengals, and they’ll be looking for similar success if they hope to contend with the Browns. While Fields saw his first significant game action last week, this is the first week where he’ll have an entire week to prepare as the starter.

But there’s not a lot of confidence in Chicago heading into this game as 94% of experts are picking the Bears to lose to the Browns on Sunday, according to NFL Pick Watch.

Chicago is currently 7.5-point road underdogs, according to Tipico Sportsbook, where they’ll need a near perfect game to contend with Cleveland.

Can the Bears make it 10 straight wins against the AFC North? Will Fields get his first win as a starter?

We’ll see Sunday when the Bears and Browns kick things off at Noon CT on FOX.
