    Week One 10 Point Teaser

    I am looking at the following 3 teams for a 10 point teaser in week one.

    1. Eagles to beat the Rams (-7)
    2. Chargers to beat the Panthers (-9)
    3. Jets to beat the Dolphins (-3)

    Last year was my first year betting on NFL, or anything for that matter. There are a lot of sharp people on this site and I am very interested in your opinions.

    I dropped the Patriots off from this teaser. The first reason is that I stay away from games with a spread of -16.5 or greater unless I go with the underdog. The second reason is despite being a Pats fan I seriously question their offensive line after watching the preseason games. I think they will do well this year, but I will not risk my money on them until they show me they still have the goods.

    I will wait until the day before the game to get weather reports, and injury reports, but I believe my choice is solidified. I prefer 10 point teasers because it gives me a margin of error that has saved my butt more than once.

    On most 10-pt teasers, ties lose. If you tease a team to the 3 or 7, you're killing yourself.

    If you want to play these, look for favorites of about 10-12.5 points.
