We’ve won back-to-back teasers! That’s what I’m talking about. Now we’ll look for three in a row for Week 16 in the NFL.
Every week, we’ll share our favorite picks for a 6-point basic teaser in the NFL in this article. It’s also smart to play numbers that make sense. You need to cross key numbers to gain value. Those numbers would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 17.
Again, here’s a teaser betting guide from Jason Katz via BettingPros if you aren’t familiar with Teasers.

Leg #1 Giants +15.5
It’s a rivalry game between the Giants and the Eagles. The Giants knocked off the Eagles a few weeks ago, winning 13-7 with extremely solid defense. The Giants can make big tackles and haven’t missed many this season. While they’ve done a lot of things wrong this season, missed tackles haven’t been one of them.
So if the Giants can tackle Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders when they get a hand on them, things will work out in their favor. On the offensive end, the Giants have to start Jake Fromm. With Fromm under center, I’ll be even more confident with this group. Fromm is a game manager. He’s not the best quarterback ever, but he did everything he had to do at Georgia with quality defenses.
If the Giants play quality defense on Sunday against the Eagles, getting 15.5 points is more than enough.
Leg #2. Seattle Seahawks -.5
The fire Matt Nagy chants are out and about for the Bears. Now the Bears will look to take on the Seahawks on the road. All we need here is the Seahawks to win. And even with a 5-9 record, the Seahawks are statistically not eliminated from the playoffs.
So if you want to question whether or not the Seahawks “want” this game, think again. They’ll want it. With Russell Wilson getting more comfortable, the Seahawks have won two of their last three games and scored 30 or more points in each of those two wins.
The loss came against the Rams on a Tuesday night. No team looked prepared on that Tuesday night to begin with. I’m not going to cancel that game, but I think the offense looks much better with a 4:05 pm ET Sunday start time instead. Plus, the Bears are averaging just 17.1 points per game and have lost four of their last five games.
Leg #3. Saints +3
I like the Saints to win outright against the Dolphins at home. The Saints defense has dominated recently, allowing just nine points in the last two games. The offense hasn’t been up to par for the Saints, but that could change against the Dolphins.
Miami is giving up nearly 375 yards per game don’t the season and over 22 points per game. The defense has looked solid, and the Dolphins are winning. But the Dolphins’ wins on this six-game winning streak have included two games against the Jets, one against the Giants, another against the Panthers, and so forth. The Dolphins just played an easy schedule. We’re not discrediting what the Dolphins have done. Every team gets their chance to play these bad teams. But essentially, playing the Saints is going to be a bit harder.
The Saints’ defense is for real and will shut down the Dolphins on Monday Night Football.
