What’s at stake for the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers will be far clearer once Week 17 early and late windows close ahead of their Sunday Night Football tilt from Levi’s Stadium.

Currently, Chicago is in the mix for the top seed in the NFC, while the Niners are hoping for both the NFC West and that top seed, currently held by the Seattle Seahawks.

The sidebar to this is where we live, looking for the right picks to find the end zone in this biggie.

Read below for my free Bears vs. 49ers anytime touchdown picks for December 28.

Bears anytime touchdown pick

DJ Moore (+200 at FanDuel)

It’s no coincidence that DJ Moore's usage in the last couple of weeks has been upped while Rome Odunze sits again with a foot injury.

Moore’s stint as the reclaimed No. 1 didn’t start well, caching one ball for -4 yards against the Packers, but he’s been the primary target since.

The veteran had four catches, 69 yards, and a pair of TD grabs in a win over Cleveland, and then a big time rebound against the same Packers.

Moore caught five passes for 97 yards, none bigger than a 46-yard TD bomb in OT to come back and beat the Pack.

The Niners are Bottom-10 in passing yards against, and they have a paltry 16 sacks on the year. Caleb Williams should have all day to find Moore, and hopefully for a third straight game in paydirt.

49ers anytime touchdown pick

Jauan Jennings (+120 at FanDuel)

Of course, the inclination here is to wager on Christian McCaffrey, who’s the hub of everything San Francisco does. But the books know that too, and -250 juice on an anytime TD doesn’t seem right.

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings is putting together a monster home stretch for Frisco, and he’s getting plus odds to find the end zone against Chicago.

Jennings caught five passes for 71 yards and a score in the Niners’ 48-27 win over Indy last time out, making it four straight games with a major and six in the last seven.

He also lit up the Bears last year, catching seven balls for 90 yards and two touchdowns, making this an easy flier for Sunday night.
