    Help Closing out a Teaser (9.5pt)

    Got greedy with all the action this weekend and opened a 15-team teaser, and by some fluke I have 11 won. I still need 4 picks. They don't have to be NFL, but it's the sport I know most about, and have been fairly successful this week. It's 10pt in NFL. My leans (in order):

    DAL -1.5
    ARI +17
    SEA +13
    MIN +19.5
    PIT +19
    DET +3

    Also, there may be some great total plays as well, getting a 9.5pt swing. Such as:

    GB/MIN o35
    JAX/BUF o32

    Some plays I'm leaning simply because of the number value. For instance, I like SF to beat StL, but SF +2 is a waste of 2.5 points of the tease.

    So, throw me some suggestions!

    I like the under in the SF/STL game. At 9.5 it would be u50.5. I think SF's D will be motivated and eat Sammy B for lunch

    Defensive TDs scare me in that one. Last week, the SF and STL defenses combined for 6 interceptions and 4 pick sixes. 50.5 seems high, yes, but 27-24 wouldn't shock me. 13-7 wouldn't, either, though. Games in StL are generally lower scoring, though, so there may be some good value.

    You're definitely Better off going O35 GB/MIN than any other O/U. I'm a vikings fan, and believe me Rodgers will be in robot mode tomorrow. Wouldn't surprise me if the packers alone scored 35

    That was my favorite lean, the more I looked at things. Already locked it in. 3 to go!

    agree with the over in gb....think cincy over +10 is a slam dunk...total wise i would stay away from over in buf, i played under 45.5 earlier in week and obviously it has dropped and you get a low number but wind and rain plus buf d little underrated, thought number was high to start, prob go over 33 or whatever but cant say i like if im on under....i think if you brought indy/det to 61 under be safe as hell..dal/phi over be good plus it be last game where you could middle (think line may climb a little as well).... steelers prob ok, i took the 7.5..sea be nice if you got when it could have been 14 but again a dog i played at +4.... hope you hit it bro..

    I'd be all over SEA at +14, but it's too late for that, unfortunately. I like ARI +17 the most, along with DAL -1.5. I think I'm going to lock those two in. I only have $25 on this, but it's to win me just over $600. That means I need one more pick. PIT +19 is begging me to play it. Cin +10 should be money as well

    Remeber this, Charlie Batch and the steelers had 8 turnovers last week. Cleveland shoulda blown them out

    That does scare me.

    I'm gonna leave this last spot open and sleep on it. Maybe i'll get a favorable line movement (for me) somewhere overnight to decide this for me. I'm happy with my lines so far.

    IMO Cincy would be a safer pick.. or maybe just 'lose' those 2.5 pts of tease and grab SF! you can always hedge a little the last game..AND, on top of that, if you don't feel comfortable with it.. just LEAVE IT OPEN for next week

    I agree with the over in MIN/GB. GB's defense is a sieve & they will score plenty on offense. But, no need to tease it.

    Otherwise, Dallas -1.5 is my pick from that list. Philly has quit and Dallas still has a shot at the playoffs.

    I think I may just take SF. I don't see how they lose, even in StL. I don't trust kaep yet though.

    Followed your advice on leaving the last pick open. Played GB/MIN o35, DAL -2, and ARI +17. Now I can close it out next week.

    Denver -2.5, and then hedge with oak +12?
