The magic numbers for enticing underdogs on the standard teaser bets are +1.5, +2 and +2.5. With six bonus points, the spreads sail across the key margins of 3 and 7 points, landing at 7.5, 8 or 8.5 in matchups involving teams of virtually equal strength.
Week 11 has presented teaser players with a smorgasbord of options. Four games fit the category.
When it comes to our spread teaser, we're looking at a pair of slight 'dogs who could benefit from the extra half-dozen points. We'll also share a set of teaser recommendations based on totals and a coupling that involves the Sunday and Monday night games.
The Jets have rewarded Over players by sending out the league-worst defense. They might upgrade the rock-bottom status against Miami, whose last three games have resulted in 37, 32 and 28 points. The Dolphins' blitz can be lethal, and they figure to unleash the dogs against fill-in QB Joe Flacco, an aging veteran making his first start this season. Flacco went a combined 2-10 as a starter the previous two years.
Forget the fact that WFT and Carolina have trended Under. Washington's totals begin drifting up when Taylor Heinicke settled in at QB. Carolina exploded at Arizona last Sunday when QB Cam Newton parachuted in for a masterful game and oft-injured RB Christian McCaffrey returned to form. A subplot holds that Ron Rivera will game-plan to stop Newton, whom he once coached, but he must do so without injured DE Chase Young.
