How teasers work
A 2-team 6-point teaser at NFL standard pricing pays roughly even money. You move both spreads 6 points in your favor — but both selections must win for the teaser to pay.
The key-numbers angle
The classic +EV teaser strategy moves NFL spreads through both 3 and 7 (the most common margins of victory). Examples: -8.5 down to -2.5, or +1.5 up to +7.5.
Teaser strategy
Stick to 2-3 leg teasers. Avoid 4+ leg teasers (commission gets brutal). Avoid teasing through key numbers backward.
