NFL Betting Lines Teasers

Let’s take a look at what makes the teaser bet attractive and possibly profitable in NFL lines. Each week you will see teams in the NFL that are small favorites of less than a touchdown. Let’s say you like the Steelers this week at home against the Browns and they are a 7 point favorite. You can put them on a 6.5 point teaser and now all Pittsburgh has to do is win the game. You can also find a team that is a 3 or 4 point favorite and tease them where you will now be receiving 3 points instead of giving them. This can be very beneficial in a close game where either team wins by a field goal. It is even more advantageous if the teaser you bet is a “ties win” teaser in NFL lines.

When looking at a teaser you also have to decide how many teams to include. Two team NFL teasers usually require you to lay -110 or -120 in NFL lines to win your $100. Three team teasers and up will pay off at plus money and vary in price depending upon the amount of teams and points involved in NFL lines. Unless it is a very normal week in the NFL, which doesn’t happen that often, it might be a better idea to limit your teasers to 2-4 teams in NFL lines. The one that is my favorite is the three team teaser because it only requires you to win three games and yet still has a plus football betting money payoff.

Teasers are a very interesting bet in NFL lines and have actually gained popularity in recent years, probably because the NFL is ultra-competitive. They are still not huge value bets in NFL betting lines, but they definitely have a place in the overall football betting picture.
