    How would you hedge this?

    Had a pretty sick week hitting my two big plays and might hit this $100 7-team 6 point teaser to win a dime:

    CAR-1, SF-1, NE-1, DEN+1.5, CIN+7, CHI+5, NO+11.5

    I was hoping to hit CHI when they were +1 to +7 but didn't happen in time and I liked how I was getting -7 to -1 for the 3 big favorites so I just pulled the trigger.
    Anyway my initial lean is just to throw $50 on SEA -11.5 at +180 so I'll essentially be free-rolling with NO+11.5 for $850.

    Just wondering if people have any other ideas on what they would do. What line should I bet SEA at to get the best value for a middling opportunity? Wait for live betting is another option but I have been burnt by that before. Thoughts?

    It would be ideal if you can get SEA ML for even money during the game, but who knows how the game will play out. I would personally bet on SEA -4.5 or -4 for $200 or so.

    Don't take positions you need to hedge. But I might be tempted to do as you say, hedge SEA -11.5 to win the initial outlay. SEA can blow people out at home.
