Have you guys bet a Teaser before? I havent but it looks very tempting. Just wondering if anyone has done it and if they have done good betting them?

A teaser is actually my favorite kind of bet. I did a few five team 6 point teasers for NCAA last season. I won a couple of them and barely lost a third. If you are good at picking against the spread, (or at least over 50% accurate), then it's probably a good thing to try out.

So say I do a 4 team 6 pooint teaser. That means each team gets 6 points added to their spread? Like the Patriots right now are -13.5 so with the teaser they would only be -7.5. Is that how it works. But I have to win all games just like a parlay?

I was thinking of taking N.E., Cinci, Wash and Green Bay on a teaser bet.

That is correct. You get 6 points added in your favor.

I see on sportsbook.com, the spread for those teams are...

Pats -14

Bengals -3

Redskins -3.5

Packers -3

With the teaser, the spreads to move to...

Pats -8

Bengals +3

Redskins +2.5

Packers +3

The payout would be 3 to 1 if you win.

I'm not really jumping at any of the games except this one: Baltimore hosting Cleveland. This is the closest thing to a lock in my mind. Flacco has to get on track with all his new weapons and their D will make mince meat of whatever back up is in for Del Homme. The spread is presently 10.5. This is my only play this weekend.

I would say this is a good play. I also like the Skins to win, although I don't know what the line is. And I think the Niners will get their first win.

You are probably better at this than I am. But if I bet on it, I'd pick the under. But since I'm NOT betting, I hope you win. :)

It's gambling:ols: You win some, you lose some. Out of curiosity, though, why do you like the under? SMU has no defense to speak of, and they can score now that June Jones is in town.

I think this game will be played in the 80s. TCU will score 50 by themselves.

You win.

But I think SMU's defense is better than you think. TCU's offense scored plenty yes, but not 50 points. Their offense scored 34, and one TD was set up with a long kickoff return. Also, there isn't a game in recent history between SMU and TCU that has hit an over of 56. But I thought it'd be lower scoring because I obviously overestimated TCU's defense. Zach Line punished them and that was enjoyable to watch.

edit: oh and you must not have watched the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve 2009. ;)

Since you were right about the Pats last week, I am riding with you on this one. Jets have momentum after that win last week, and Miami's offense is questionable. I just put $55 on them +2.5.

2-1 for the year, +$65

I also said NC State would cover today. And I said Temple might beat Penn St straight up. Right now its 15-13 Penn St at end of 3rd. Looking good on Temple to cover, too. :)

3-1-1 to start the year. Not bad. Here we go for this week.

NC State +8

Penn St -13.5

Miami Dolphins -2

Good luck folks.

The first one I like. Don't like the 2nd one. Temple could very well beat Penn St. But I see them keeping it close, for sure. And I don't like the Dolphins at all. Jets will beat them.

:bow:

damned Ravens! Lost $150 on that game now I'm sitting at -$200 for the year.

I knew the Skins would struggle but damned, they got straight up man-handled. Just reconfirmed my long held belief to never bet on your favorite team.

It's ok to bet on your team. I've bet for and against the skins. Just can't be tied to it emotionally.

Two plays this week:

$44 on Sehawks -1 @ Rams

$44 on over 37 in the Jets vs. Bills

3-1 on the year +$115

Thanks for that Jets pick, Bubble. I was gonna probably pick that anyway.

Also thinking about Broncos +6.5 @ Titans. Gonna wait until Friday to see if the line moves to 7.

No problem. I was in a zone last week in the picking department.

As for your plays:

I like the Seattle pick.

Not sure I like the over in the Jets game though. Sure, the Bills put up 30 last week. But that was NE's defense. The Bills will score very few points in this one, if any.

The Broncos pick might be ok. Don't have a 'great' feeling about it though.

Haven't looked at the lines yet. But I'm sure I can come up with better picks than this. But again, I do like the Seattle pick.
