NFL Teaser for next week

[Dementia]

Saints +1 vs the Eagles

I like the Eagles magical run to end here. Unless someone can find a very convincing way to argue for the Eagles +11, the Saints can blow them out talent wise so I'd err on the side of caution especially with them playing in NO.

Seahawks +15.5 vs the Bears

Yeah, regardless of how pussified Rex Grossman has been, I do foolishly expect them to win the game. But Hasselbeck and Alexander should stay within the pts.

Waste of money teasing the Saints line. Crossing the 0 is worthless man.

Play them straight up and tease something else.

Hate hate hate the Saints part of the tease. The Eagles could win this. Some of the teaser points are pretty worthless. I think you'd have been better off just betting the spread on each game. Good luck.

Yeah, this is like maybe the second ever 6pt tease I'd do so I'm still green. So I assume the Eagles +11 is better since it covers the 7&3, but there's a good chance in my estimation that this can easily be a 14 pt game so perhaps I will find something else.

No, the point is not to make sure that you win on the 7&3. The point is to make sure you CROSS the 7&3. Betting the Eagles spread here, you ALREADY win if the Saints win by 3, so this isn't a Wong teaser. The well-regarded teasers in these parts are ones that deal with spreads from 1.5-2.5 or 7.5-8.5, since those are the ones where the additional points will change results on the 7 and the 3.

In this case, moving off the 5 isn't that great. This teaser may win, but it's kind of a sucker bet because you don't gain enough going from -5 to +1 (nor would you gain enough going from +5 to +11).

FWIW I like the Eagles anyway so of course I'm critical. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Call me a donk, but during the NFL season, I tease the heck out of everything & do pretty well. I know I should be playing most of my games straight-up, but teasing a game just gives me that much more confidence in the games I choose to bet. Especially since the NFL isn't really my strong point. Cudos to the OP, even if every tease isn't a true Wong, a win is a win.

Congrats on the win. I was on the opposite sides of you, but I had Eagles +5, as well as a tease of Bears -2/o30.5, so we both won. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Congrats to OP, but I had Bears/O tease as well.
