Last week was a miss for our top teaser, as the Cowboys failed to stay competitive on the road against the Bills. They may be a popular teaser play this week as a similar underdog to the Dolphins, but that line is mostly Dolphins -1 right now, which doesn't give the Cowboys enough value to use in a six-point teaser.

We'll also need to worry about the state of the Cowboys offensive line, with Zack Martin and Tyron Smith not practicing on Wednesday and Thursday. That's enough to steer me away from the Cowboys in a 6.5-point teaser, and there aren't any clear plays to use with them in that more highly juiced number anyway.

So who is worth teasing? We're getting this article out late this week with several lines flying all around key teaser numbers, so make sure you're only applying the advice below if you're getting a number that is worth teasing. Once lines get to a certain number, you should be thinking about playing them straight if you were thinking about teasing, or on the other end, just avoid altogether.

If you've read my other content or followed my picks, you likely already know I've been SportsLine's No. 1 NFL against-the-spread expert over the last six years, going 535-450-30 against the spread to put me up more than 35 units on those picks at SportsLine since 2017. When it comes to teasers, we stress focusing on the options that go through Teaser Alley and ideally lining up with sides you already like against the main number.

If you don't know what Teaser Alley is, read on to find out. Even if you do, I'll go through every game where I believe there's a teaseable number, give you my analysis of whether it's worth putting in our bucket of potential plays, and then ranking those plays at the end, with the top two representing the best teaser play you can make this week. But if you disagree with any of the analysis for those two teaser legs, you have all the info you need to find other teaser-worthy options.

Now let's get to the teaser legs I do think are worth considering.
