The NFL playoffs are coming very soon. We are two weeks away from the postseason. There is a playoff picture, but it’s bound to change in the next two weeks. All teams are going to come out on fire this week. Therefore, teasers may be the best thing for Week 17.
This will allow us to adjust the spread in our favor. Here are my favorite teaser bets for Week 17.
NFL 6-Point Teaser Picks for Week 17
Best Bet: Colts -7 to -1
The Las Vegas Raiders seem like a good bet this week. However, with the teaser, the Colts are the best bet. Indianapolis is -7 against the spread, but they do not have Carson Wentz.
Without Wentz, people are starting to fade Indianapolis. This team has been predicated on running the ball. Wentz is not going to make a huge difference, especially at home.
Best Bet: Bears -5.5 to +1.5
The tease in this Giants vs Bears game makes this a pick’em matchup. I like Chicago at -5.5, so I love them with a free 1.5 points. The Bears are coming off a big win over the Seahawks. I do not love betting on Chicago, but this is not the case this weekend.
The Giants are one of the worst teams in football. The team does not have a stable quarterback. Additionally, they cannot protect the quarterback. This is not the recipe for a win on Sunday.
Eagles vs. Washington Predictions
Best Bet: Eagles -3.5 to +3.5
The Philadelphia Eagles are -3.5 on Sunday. This is never a good number to lay because if they win by a field goal, you lose. However, with the six-point tease, I like this bet.
At +3.5, you are protected by a field goal loss. This will be a tight game, but the tease makes it a great bet. Washington seems to be dead following their loss to the Cowboys in Week 16.
NFL 10-Point Teaser Picks for Week 17
Buccaneers vs. Jets Predictions
Best Bet: Buccaneers -13 to -3
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need to go on the road this week to take on the Jets. New York is not a very intimidating team. Tampa Bay at -13 is not a bad bet against the Jets, who can barely score points.
The Buccaneers are one of the best teams in the NFL. They should win this matchup by a lot of points. With the tease, the Buccaneers only need to win by three for a push and four for a win.
Best Bet: Bills -14.5 to -4.5
The Buffalo Bills are -14.5 on Sunday at home against the Falcons. Atlanta is a bad team, but they will give the Bills a fight. However, with the tease, this is a winning bet.
Buffalo should win this game by a touchdown, and the tease will make this a winner.
Chiefs vs. Bengals Predictions
Best Bet: Bengals +4.5 to +14.5
The Kansas City Chiefs are rolling. Yet, the Bengals are not a terrible team. They are at home, so it would not surprise me if they show up big.
Adjusting the Bengals spread to +14.5 is safe. You are protected by a two-touchdown loss with the hook.
