NFL Week 16 Teasers: Picks & Predictions (2024)
One popular way bettors try to find value on NFL lines is by playing teasers. An NFL teaser is similar to a parlay; you add multiple legs that must all win for the bet to pay out. The key difference from parlays is that a teaser allows you to buy points like 6, 6.5, or 7 in a direction that lowers risk.
Teaser Tips to Follow:
- Never Cross over 0
- Tease through two key numbers, ideally 3 & 7.
- Tease games with lower totals, ideally anything 49 or less.
Below are three teaser options for Week 16 and my Best Bet.

Week 16 Teaser Options
(Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Baltimore Ravens (-6.5 to -0.5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
I love this spot for the Ravens. Having just come off their bye two weeks ago and having a pretty easy game last week against the Giants, the Ravens are healthy and rejuvenated, just in time for a big divisional game.
Don’t forget that this will also be a revenge spot for Baltimore. The Ravens lost to the Steelers earlier this year and need to win this game to regain their position at the top of the AFC North.
Cincinnati Bengals (-8.5 to -2.5) vs. Cleveland Browns
While the Browns season has been over for a while, they officially waved the white flag as they decided to bench Jameis Winston and give second-year QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson a shot at the starting job.
In a limited time last year, DTR didn’t exactly light the world on fire. He went 1-2 in three starts with one touchdown, four interceptions, and a QBR of 35.
DTR will be a bit more mobile than Winston, but even against an awful defense like the Bengals have, it shouldn’t make much of a difference in the outcome.
The Browns’ season is over, while the Bengals still have a shimmer of hope of making the playoffs. With Burrow and Chase having historic years, they should have no problem winning this game by more than a field goal.
Atlanta Falcons (-8.5 to -2.5) vs. New York Giants
As we have all seen, the Falcons have announced that Michael Penix will be the starting QB for the rest of the season. While it may shock some, it was only a matter of time in my eyes.
Coming into the season, I thought Penix could be the best QB in this draft class, and I still believe this to be true.
Drew Lock is in line to get another start for the Giants, and that’s not good. Lock is 0-2 in two starts with 0 touchdowns and two interceptions.
It is more important for this Giants team to lose this game rather than win.
Look for a motivated and rejuvenated Falcons team to emerge fast and furious.
