New to whole Wong Teaser but potential one for week 9

I think you got screwed a point on the Pittsburgh line. Musta bet it at 5Dimes. Then you left them in there at -3?
Bad bet.

I have a question about wong teasers. Currently, I'm seeing SD at -7.5 @ Min. Obviously I intend to wait until Sunday, but presuming SD is still at -7.5, I would think this is not a great wonging candidate. It seems to me that the only thing moving the line from -7 to -7.5 is people betting on SD. I know road favs are worst performers of wongs, but assuming I would tease those anyway, I feel I should still avoid this one.

If you are going to use this reasoning then you should just be betting your teasers off openers and disregarding all line movement throughout the week.

The philosophy behind waiting to bet basic strategy teasers is that the closing line, having been bet into for days by all sorts of players, is now the most correct. Therefore you stand a better chance of the final score staying close enough to the line to cover your teaser.

I think there is a difference between the lines sharpening and when the lines move based on people slamming one side. I know that it is not always trivial why a line moves, but in this case it seems pretty clear cut.
