Man, I haven't even looked at it yet, and I arranged this 60+ team competition. Better check on that. I usually pass on teasers and go for parlays. There is always one lopsided unexpected victory, or much tighter game than expected.

I can't take KC or Seattle. KC spread too big on road in division game..SD getting more than a td? And Miami is no slouch. I like the other picks though.

I guess I'm talking straight up though. How many points do you typically get in your teasers? I used to get 6 back in college. Now it seems like the standard is 4.5 unless you buy extra points.

I'd easily tease Miami to get + more than two tds thoughs. GB not the best road team.

Great thread, thanks bw! Hope you don't mind that I just made a Panthers-Broncos thread as it's the first game of the season and it's the only game on Thursday so I imagine it will have a pretty large audience.

K.C is at home for starters. And in a tease you get to move the point spread 6 points. I already put it in with my college teaser yesterday. Staying with it. I usually bet a bit on the conservative side the first 3 weeks till I get a better grip on things with my eye test. then I move up to parlays and straight up vs. the spread.

When I had an actual bookie in college I got 6, but now I use this site...it starts with 4.5 but then you have to pay more juice if you want more points than that...see.. https://www.5dimes.eu/TrTeaserSelect.asp

I thought it would be cool to have images so I had to do some searching and then thought the nfl music would be cool too..kind of gets you pumped.

Good call on the music. I won't lie, it gives you goosebumps. The CBS one is my favorite:

Watch on YouTube

Other than Bears/Texans, Browns/Eagles and Vikings/Titans, everything else should be good.

i'm alright with it, the price was a lot but we needed someone badly and being in a desperate situation results in a high price

bradford isn't anything to write home about but he's better than some of the other options out there. its given me a little hope again if nothing else. the team could have just rode it out with hill for a while, or brought in someone else for cheap and kind of float through the year with a bad qb situation but the front office went out and made a big statement saying they think this team is good enough now to make a move like this

Couldn't agree more with you.
