I'm going to pull the trigger on the Saints-14 also. Yes , that is a lot of points to give but look at this....

Saints: points scored 303 , given up 174

Rams: points scored 77 , given up 221

That doesn't always mean an easy win , but I can't see the Rams scoring more than 21 and I don't think they can keep the Saints from breaking 40.

That's exactly what you AREN'T supposed to do with teasers. You did it 3 times. Of course, that doesn't mean you won't win it but it's a sucker bet.

Keep in mind this philosophy generally has nothing to do with the teams playing.
A smarter bet would be Atlanta +8, Oakland +8 1/2, and San Diego or Philadelphia +10.

See why that's a safer bet?

you stick with those games. The reason is the experts really have no idea who is going to win, they just know it's going to be close.

Now with my picks that I quickly posted off the top of my head, I made a mistake with who is USUALLY better to take. But I don't see the Raiders getting blown out at home and I actually like the falcons to win(that's what I was thinking before the game started anyway). Usually, in a game that the line is around 3, you take the 3 point dog so you are looking at +13. That's the safest 10 point teaser bet you can make. If you can find 3 games like that, great.

The reason is you want to get the MOST out of the points that you are paying for. A game that is predicted to be close allows you to do that. Pats/Colts game is great for this philosophy as is the Chargers/Eagles.</p>

then what I said.

Okay now you know how teasers work, now time to explain when is the best time to make a teaser bet. Here are a couple examples of when we advise considering betting a football teaser bet.</p>

First scenario, you like 2 small underdogs and expect the games to be very close and also believe they both have a chance to win the game outright. Making a 2 team 6 point teaser bet in this situation is giving you some added assurance. For example the Jets are getting +2.5 against Baltimore, and the Bears are getting +3 against Minnesota. You now have the Jets +8.5 and the Bears +9. If both games are tight (within one score) like you predict they will be the teaser bet is a smart angle to play.</p>

Another scenario we like is playing favorites in the -2.5 to -8.5 range. For example the Packers are -8.5 against Buffalo, and the Cowboys are -2.5 against Washington. Making a 2 team 6 point football teaser bet would give you the Packers -2.5 who now only need to win by a field goal, and getting +3.5 with the Cowboys, who can now even lose the game by a field a goal and still win your teaser bet for you. By making teaser bets in the -2.5 to -8.5 points spread range you are essentially skipping over key numbers like 3, 4, 6, and 7 and sometimes even getting the biggest key number of them all 3 back in your favor.</p>

We hope this has piece has educated you on betting teasers, if you have any questions about teaser betting you can contact us via our contact form and we can answer anymore in depth questions you may have.
