NFL Week 13 Best Teaser
Last week's teaser hit, and we've now hit on four of our last six teasers. And with Denver dominating the under with a league-best record of 10-1, and Detroit 4-0 against the spread in its last four games, there's no reason not to take both teams in a teaser for this week.
The Broncos thought trading for Russell Wilson was going to solve their problems, but instead, it’s just added to them. Denver has covered against the under in seven consecutive games, and don't be surprised if it's eight straight after this week. The teaser boosts the total points up to 45.5 points, and that's simply too good to pass up.
Lamar Jackson has had an up-and-down season for the Ravens, and Baltimore's defense is rolling as of late. Baltimore has allowed 22 points or less in seven of its last eight games, and don't be surprised if they keep Denver under 20 on Sunday. Denver is averaging a league-worst 14.3 points per game, and have scored 16 points or less in three straight games. And to make matters worse, Denver hasn't scored more than 23 points in a game all season, and have scored 21 points or less in seven straight games.
On the flip side though, Denver is third in the NFL and first in the AFC in points allowed, and have allowed 23 points or less in seven straight games. So, two things are clear. The Broncos have an elite defense, and a pathetic offense. And considering Baltimore has had its offensive struggles at times this season, betting the under is 100% the way to go.
As for the final leg of our teaser, take the Lions (+7) thanks to the teaser against Jacksonville. Detroit has covered the spread in four straight games, and don't be shocked if they upset the Jaguars on Sunday. Dan Campbell has this franchise playing its best football in years, and that's saying a ton considering the Lions lost six of their first seven games to begin the year.
The Lions are in the top 10 in points per game and yards per game, and they gave Buffalo everything they could handle on Thanksgiving. The Lions' defense has certainly struggled at times this season, but they're in the top half of the league with 14 forced turnovers, and do just enough to keep them in games.
Meanwhile Jacksonville is just 1-4 on the road this season, and their only road win was all the way back in week four. Similar to Detroit, Jacksonville is certainly trending upward, but even if they win, don't expect it to be by more than a touchdown, which gives you a wash if the Jags win by seven. In the end, expect this game to be close, and for Detroit to lose by no more than six.
The Teaser: Broncos/Ravens (under 39.5 points) to (under 45.5 points) AND Lions (+1) to (+7) (-122 odds via Barstool)
