What is your favorite teaser bet for NFL Week 4?

Ravens PK / Chiefs -.5
Through three weeks, the Ravens still lead the NFL with nearly 37 PPG. Although those numbers are clearly inflated by the blowout of Miami in Week 1, they have still been a dynamic offense since, posting at least 440 yards of offense against both Arizona and Kansas City. The Browns are a tougher task defensively, but their offense has been stuck in the mud all season, averaging just over 16 PPG over the first three weeks. A win this week for Baltimore will give them an early stranglehold on the AFC North in what could amount to a huge game by the end of the season. For Kansas City, Patrick Mahomes continues to be the class of the NFL at the quarterback position, as he has accounted for at least 370 passing yards and three scores (with no interceptions) in all three games this season. The Lions look like a brand new team in Matt Patricia’s second season as they come into Week 4 as one of just eight undefeated teams, but getting this Chiefs’ team giving just a half-point is a gift. Sit back and enjoy the Patrick Mahomes’ show as the Chiefs take care of business in Detroit to move to 4-0.

Chiefs PK / Patriots -1
The Patriots are 5-0 against the Bills in their last five games. The Bills are off to a 3-0 start, but they barely squeaked out a win at home against the Bengals and now face Tom Brady and the Patriots. Belichick is a brilliant schemer and will find a way to pick apart this solid Bills’ defense. The Pats haven’t given up a defensive touchdown yet, and Josh Allen has his work cut out for him on Sunday. The Chiefs continue to show how electric their offense can be even after losing their starting running back Damien Williams. They just put up 33 points against an elite Ravens’ defense. Giving a half-point against a far less superior Lions’ team is a safe bet.

Chiefs PK / Patriots -1
Feel free to call me Chalky McChalkerson this week if you like, but sometimes the obvious play is the correct play. With a six-point tease in Week 4, you can get the Chiefs PK at Detroit and the Patriots -1 at Buffalo. While all the teams involved in these contests are undefeated, the gap between what the Chiefs and Patriots are and what the Bills and Lions are is sizable. This teaser will cost a little to play (-130), but laying 130 to win 100 feels like a wise investment. If you’re looking for a bigger return adding the Colts, Rams, or Ravens you can take your odds up to +160.

Patriots -1 / Colts -1
The 3-0 Bills will get their first real test of the season on Sunday when they welcome a New England team who boasts a league-best +89 point differential. In this AFC East matchup, the Bills have won outright just three times in this decade, most recently in 2016. I expect a Patriots’ team that thrives on shutting down the outside noise and detractors to continue to put the league on notice post their own AB drama. Since a Week 1 win over what has turned out to be a below-average Broncos’ team, the Raiders have sputtered, scoring just 28 points in the two weeks since. This week the Raiders travel to another hostile road environment in Indianapolis to face a Colts’ team that could easily be 3-0. While the Colts had leaned heavily on their run game prior to last week, quarterback Jacoby Brissett found some momentum in Week 3, throwing for 310 yards and two touchdowns while finishing with a 118.1 QBR.

Green Bay +2.5 / Rams -3
I’m going to break the cardinal betting rule, “don’t tease across the zero.” Coming off a bad home loss to Detroit with a very shallow wide receiver core, the Eagles have a quick turnaround at Lambeau Field on Thursday night. The most impressive Green Bay unit has been their defense, which is ranked third best in pass defense DVOA per Football Outsiders. The Eagles are hoping to have wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) back but will still be without deep threat DeSean Jackson (abdominal strain). Green Bay second-year cornerback Jaire Alexander is PFF’s highest-graded coverage defensive back. Philadelphia’s injuries and the Packers’ stellar defense will be a tough combination to overcome on a short week. Meanwhile, Los Angeles signal-caller Jared Goff is a different quarterback in home games. In 2018, Goff averaged 342.1 passing yards, 2.75 touchdowns, and an incredible 31.2 fantasy points in the Rams’ eight home games. Tampa Bay’s run defense has been stout, ranking second in run defense DVOA. In their first three games, no opposing running back has rushed for more than 40 yards. However, the Bucs pass defense just allowed New York rookie Daniel Jones to throw for 336 passing yards and score four total touchdowns. Los Angeles’ defense ranks eighth-best with only 16.3 points allowed per game. The Rams pass defense should limit Tampa Bay’s explosive wide receivers and cover the teaser comfortably with a double-digit home win.

Minnesota +8.5 / New Orleans +8.5
I’m teasing across the seven with two underdogs I think could win straight up. The Vikings could very easily be 3-0, if not for some poor play in crunch time from Kirk Cousins against Green Bay in Week 2. Their ground-and-pound offense is working, as Dalvin Cook leads the league with 375 rushing yards. That style of play is more conducive against a Bears’ front seven that prefers to pin its ears back and cause chaos against the pass. The Bears’ offense remains uninspiring and Mike Zimmer should find plenty of ways to confuse Mitchell Trubisky, which isn’t difficult to do. The Vikings may not win, but they’ll keep it within a touchdown on the road. I came away extremely impressed by New Orleans’ defense in its upset win over Seattle. It doesn’t look pretty in the box score, but much of Seattle’s 515 yards came after the Saints took a commanding 27-7 lead and let off the gas. Dallas has looked like world-beaters through three weeks, but let’s keep in mind those three victories came over an Eli Manning-led Giants’ team, the lousy Redskins, and the tanking Dolphins. The Cowboys have linebackers capable of keeping up with Alvin Kamara in open space, but I’m confident the Saints can keep it within this number.

Panthers +10.5 / Colts -1
Most bettors are going to be high on the Texans against the Panthers given Houston just won on the road against the playoff-contending Chargers. However, a look at the stats will tell you the Texans might be in trouble in this game. Houston has had trouble protecting Deshaun Watson as they rank 30th in sacks allowed. Carolina is not only tied for third in most sacks but have the fourth-ranked total defense. Kyle Allen will look to continue to be a spark for this offense as he is coming off a four-touchdown performance. Meanwhile, the NFL schedule makers were not kind to the Raiders as they are in the midst of a five-week stretch without a home game. The Raiders are just 1-8 SU in their last nine road games. The Colts are playing their second consecutive home game and will ride their home-field advantage to a comfortable win in this one.
