Teasers are a great way to protect yourself from NFL upsets. The week five slate has a lot of value against the spread. When we factor in the teasers, good things will happen for payout.
Here are my best teaser bets for the fifth week of NFL action.
NFL 6-Point Teaser Picks for Week 5
Eagles vs. Panthers Predictions
Best Bet: Panthers Teased From -3 to +3
The Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers are in different spots at week five. The Eagles are 1-3, and the Panthers are 3-1. The Sam Darnold formula has seemed to work well in Carolina.
The Panthers are 2-0 at home, and I expect them to win again on Sunday. The Eagles gave up 42 points to the Chiefs on Sunday. Christian McCaffrey will return for the Panthers on Sunday as well, making them more dominant.
Packers vs. Bengals Predictions
Best Bet: Packers Teased From -2.5 to +4.5
The value of this tease is unbelievable for the Packers at +4.5. Green Bay and Cincinnati are both 3-1, but the caliber of these teams is different.
Aaron Rodgers has been fantastic since his week one loss. This game is in Cincinnati, but the team should still have success.
The Packers should win this game, and they will be within a field goal.
Patriots vs. Texans Predictions
Best Bet: Patriots Teased From -9 to -3
Mac Jones outplayed Tom Brady on Sunday night. The Patriots missed a game-winning field goal, but they proved they could play.
The Texans are struggling, and New England should be riding high after nearly upsetting the defending champions. The Texans have a very weak passing defense, so expect Jones to shine in this contest.
NFL 10-Point Teaser Picks for Week 5
Dolphins vs. Buccaneers Predictions
Best Bet: Buccaneers Teased From -9.5 to +1.5
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need to bounce back after nearly losing to the Patriots. I like them to cover -9.5, so taking them as a dog is a steal.
Tampa Bay’s defense needs to step up, but they should not have much difficulty against the Dolphins. Miami is only averaging 277.8 yards per game, and they still will not have Tua Tagovailoa.
Tom Brady will bounce back and find a way to win big on Sunday. +1.5 is a lock with the Buccaneers, who are undefeated at home.
Best Bet: Bears Teased From +5 to +15
Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. They should bounce back this week at home. However, I like the Bears with the tease.
The quarterback situation is questionable in Chicago. Yet, the team shined last week against the Lions, winning by ten. This momentum should allow them to cover with ease.
The Bears’ offense needs to play well, but the defense will keep them in the game. They may find the Raiders down after a weak offensive night.
49ers vs. Cardinals Predictions
Best Bet: Cardinals Teased From -4.5 to +6.5
The Cardinals are +6.5 with the tease, and they are the best team in football. Arizona is still undefeated, thanks to Kyler Murray under center.
The 49ers are 2-2, and I believe they will have a hard time defending Murray. If Arizona is going to lose, it will not be by more than a field goal.
