Week 15 Top NFL Teaser Bets: No Easy Games

Turn Short Favorites Into Pick’Ems With 6.5-Point Teasers

Week 15 is a doozy. There are not a lot of prominent NFL games to pick, parlay, or tease. So we dug deep and picked a trio of small favorites, which have been digging deep recently. These teams have “dawgs” in them.

They’re not underdogs but have a fighting spirit and will deliver even if it takes dirty work. These are Week 15’s top NFL teaser bets.

Cleveland has quietly put together an 8-5 record with wins over Baltimore, Jacksonville, and San Francisco. The Browns allow the fewest total yards. And even if this unit struggles in the red zone (28th overall) and the offense commits the most turnovers, Cleveland finds a way to get it done.

Chicago would be a good underdog bet here if strictly looked at the stats and NFL results. The Bears are decent enough in moving the ball, and the defense is top-five against the run. But Chicago might just be feeling itself after consecutive division wins.

The Bears are due for a rude awakening here. They are 1-3 (1-2-1 against the spread (ATS)) against the AFC, and that lone win came against the woeful Raiders. As slight NFL favorites, a 6.5-point teaser spots Cleveland a field goal. Tease the Browns from -3.5 to +3.

Buffalo has had its back to the wall since it ended up with a .500 record (6-6). It responded by beating the Chiefs in Kansas City, where the offense won the first half, and the defense won the second. Against Dallas, the Bills make for one of Week 15 top NFL teaser bets as it can exploit a team that is worse on the road.

The Cowboys are 7-0 with a +171-point differential at home. But on the road, they are just 3-3 and +17. If we exclude their 33-10 blowout of the Panthers, the NFL’s worst team, they are 2-3 and -6. They have not beaten a home team with a top-10 offense, nor have they played an explosive offense since getting whooped by San Francisco in Week 5.

The Bills should take the fight to the Cowboys and win. But using a 6.5-point teaser, we push Buffalo down from slight NFL favorites to a four-point underdog. If Dallas wins, it’ll be via four points or fewer. Tease the Bills from -2.5 to +4.

Folks have abandoned the Eagles bandwagon following two disastrous showings. But a game against Seattle makes Philadelphia one of Week 15 top NFL teaser bets. The Seahawks are also reeling and have lost four straight. And to make matters worse, their starting quarterback, Geno Smith, and star receiver, D.K. Metcalf, could miss the game.

But even if they play, the Eagles should win this game. Adding a 6.5-point teaser spots Philadelphia a field goal, which they should not need. But Pete Carroll tends to get his players to always play hard. The Seahawks are “dawgs,” too. But Philadelphia is just a tad more desperate and angrier here.

Seattle also tends to slow down late in the season. The Seahawks are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games in December and 0-5-1 ATS in their last six Week 15 games. This is not coincidental. Philadelphia rolls all over the NFL scores and odds. Bet on it. Tease the Eagles from -3.5 to +3.
