NFL Week 15 Best Teaser
We matched our season-high on the teaser front with our third straight win last week, and there's no signs of that changing in Week 15. And it hasn't been just the last three weeks, we're 6-2 over the last eight weeks, and we've got two picks — one over/under and one spread — that we're really high on.
The under has dominated all season long — hitting over 55% of the time — and with Lamar Jackson out again this week for the Ravens, betting the under of 44 points courtesy of the teaser is a steal. Plus, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley suffered a concussion last week against Pittsburgh, and even though he's been cleared for Saturday's game against Cleveland, who knows what to expect.
The Ravens are 9-4 are against the under this season, and have covered the under in four of their last five games. It gets better, though. Baltimore has scored 10 or less points in three of its last four games, and the defense has allowed 14 points or less during that span. So, not only is Baltimore struggling to score, but teams are struggling to score against them, too.
Meanwhile since Cleveland swapped Jacoby Brissett with Deshaun Watson at quarterback, the Browns have scored just one offensive touchdown over its last two games. It's clear Watson's two-year absence has left him a bit rusty, and don't expect that to change against a stout Ravens defense.
As for the other leg of our teaser, take the Eagles by a field goal against the Bears. Not only is Philadelphia the best team in the NFL, they also lead the NFL in points per game. And you know who has troubled stopping offenses all season long? Chicago. The Bears have allowed the fourth-most points in the NFL, and have lost six straight games. Not exactly a great time to be playing Philly if you're Chicago, even if you're at home.
Yes, Justin Fields and the Bears offense has improved significantly from the beginning of the season, but since the Bears traded away Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith, the defense has been a train-wreck. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is now the betting favorite to win MVP, and don't be shocked if he torches the Bears defense on Sunday. This game could be close for maybe a half, but expect Philly to pull away by two scores by the fourth quarter, and cover the three-point spread thanks to the teaser with ease.
The Teaser: Ravens/Browns (under 38 points) to (under 44 points) AND Eagles (-9) to (-3) (-113 odds via Barstool)
