Carson Wentz will return as the starting QB this week for the Commanders and top receiver Terry McLaurin is in position to continue his strong recent play.
The Browns pass defense, SIC score 82, will be vulnerable in the middle of the field and in positional mismatches without their three starting linebackers.
McLaurin has 18 receptions for 252 yards and two touchdowns in the last three games and his receiving yards prop in Week 17 is listed at 57.5 yards (-120).
The return of athletic wideout DJ Chark Jr. has helped jump-start the Lions' playoff push by complementing Amon-Ra St. Brown's possession attack to the tune of three games of four-plus catches and 90-plus yards on a 19.88 average.
The Lions' passing offense has a 15.4-point SIC score advantage over the Bears' pass defense after Chicago, 3-12, shut down Eddie Jackson, Kindle Vildor, and Jaylon Johnson over the past few weeks.
The elite TE has balled out with new quarterback Brock Purdy and holds an elite injury advantage over the Raiders heading into Sunday.
Las Vegas will be down their top three linebackers allowing Kittle ample time to operate across the middle which should give Purdy an easy target all game long.
In the last two games Kittle has collected 213 yards and four touchdowns while carrying a healthy 93 SIC score - expect this trend to continue against a hapless Raider defense.
