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 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0 - 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 fewer
Below are three NFL Week 6 teasers, along with my best teaser bet.

NFL Week 6 Teaser Picks
(Odds via Caesars Sportsbook)
Pittsburgh Steelers (-5.5 to +0.5) vs. Cleveland Browns
The Browns may be in the worst scheduling spot we have seen in years. To start, they had to head to Detroit in Week 4, then right after their game against the Lions, they had to travel across the pond to London, and now they have to go to Pittsburgh in Week 6.
To make matters worse for Cleveland, the Steelers are coming off their bye week, so there is a massive rest advantage for Pittsburgh. I like teasing the Steelers to -5.5.
Jacksonville Jaguars (+1.5 to +7.5) vs. Seattle Seahawks
Are the Jags the real deal?
They are making a case for themselves, especially after their Monday Night Football win against the Chiefs.
Usually, I like to fade teams in these situations. This could be a massive letdown spot for the Jags coming off a big win against Kansas City. But they have the luxury of having another home game, which allows them a little more time to prepare for another good team in the Seattle Seahawks.
Jacksonville should be able to keep this within a touchdown.
San Francisco 49ers (+3.5 to +9.5) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After another comeback victory, Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers continue their late-game heroics and find ways to win. I think this could be a potential letdown spot for the Bucs as they come off another emotional win and have to face a physical 49ers team.
Now, this 49ers team has been riddled with injuries all season, but as we saw last Thursday, it doesn’t matter. Kyle Shanahan has this team ready to play every week. Despite missing two starting receivers, their tight end and starting quarterback, the 49ers are 4-1, but this will be their toughest challenge yet.
Every single game these two teams have played has been within one score, so I love taking a shot on the 49ers at +9.5 points. This is another game for both teams that will come down to the final drive.
