Our teaser bet is a winner, however, giving us a final score of Philadelphia 30 (27 + 3), New York 28. With our original spread, the score is even worse for the Eagles at 28 to 23.5 (27-3.5). Let's say Philadelphia actually ends up losing the game by a score of 28 to 27. The teaser bet gives an already favored team even better chances to succeed. Philadelphia on the other hand, has gone from being a favorite in the betting lines to being the underdog, in terms of the spread. If the game finishes with a final score of New England 28, Miami 21, then the original spread will lose, but the teaser bet will win.

Instead of Miami and Carolina getting 3.5 and three points added to their final score, they will have ten and 9.5 points added, respectively.

There are two differences now in the games we have selected. Only one of these teams (Philadelphia), was considered a favorite with the spread, so the teaser here was definitely necessary for the additional protection. In these three games, we have applied the 6.5-points to our NFL teaser picks Miami, Philadelphia and Carolina. Let's take a look at an example of how a classic 6.5 point teaser bet works on three NFL games: NFL Game The most common teasers are six, 6.5 and seven points. The spread, or sometimes called the handicap, is the number of points that represents the assumed difference in quality between two opponents.Ī teaser bet works by adjusting the spread through adding points to give the bettor more favorable chances of winning. When understanding how teaser bets work, we need to examine the spread for each game.
