The more points you tease by, the worse the odds/payouts, so the strategy is all about mitigating risk with reward. You can also select more teams to add to a teaser for more favorable odds, similar to how you would for a parlay.

The most common NFL teaser bets include:

• Two-team six-point teaser (-110)
• Two-team seven-point teaser (-140)
• Three-team ten-point teaser (-120)

However, many of the best sports betting apps allow for a significant degree of flexibility, with NFL teasers allowing you to add up to 10+ teams and teasing all the way out to 13+ points.

NFL Teaser Strategies

NFL teasers are a type of bet where you get to move the point spread or total on a number of games in your favor. This can be a great way to increase your chances of winning, but it’s important to use a smart strategy to maximize your profits.

Before locking in a teaser bet, it’s best to understand the best NFL teaser strategies:

• Tease under 3 points. This is a popular strategy that involves teasing favorites from -7.5 to -8.5 to under a field goal (-1.5 or -2.5). Most close games in the NFL are decided by last-minute field goals, so getting under 3 points is crucial.

• Avoid teasers with totals. Teasers with totals can be more unpredictable, as the final score of a game can be affected by a number of factors, such as weather and turnovers. It’s best to stick to teasers with point spreads only.

• Don’t tease too many games. Just like with parlays, the more games you tease, the more likely you are to have something go wrong. It’s best to stick to two- or three-team teasers to mitigate risk.
