It's a veritable Octoberfest this week for teaser players who jump on slight underdogs. With the additional six points, the 'dogs who begin at +1.5 to +2.5 benefit from the line escalating above the critical three- and seven-point checkpoints.

Our three teaser choices all land in this category. Wouldn't it be nice if over/unders also had key threshold numbers?

Read on for three recommended teaser pairs - one based on spreads, one on totals and one on the Sunday and Monday night games.

Our point-spread teaser features an injury replacement at quarterback who has upside paired with an impressive defense in a great spot on Sunday. Our totals teaser involves taking an Under on an offense dealing with key injuries and an Over on one of the lowest totals of the week. We then tease both spreads in the Bills vs. Chiefs and Colts vs. Ravens primetime matchups. Check out which sides we're on below.
