Nice hit, joneo. Would you like some constructive criticism? Good because I'm going to give it to you. 

1. Never tease totals

2. Never tease through the number zero.

I don't understand #2. Can you help me understand the logic? I am assume it's statistics but am not wrapping my head around it.

Jacksonville was favored at what -4? 

You teased them down and through the number zero in order to get +2. 

The odds of a game ending in a tie are extremely low so you in theory only took advantage of 5 of the 6 points you teased. 

Also getting 2 points isn't very helpful because while it does happen from time to time, most NFL games are going to end with a 3 point or more victory.

They won't all hit every time, but if you want long term teaser success over the course of a season do the following. 

1.5, 2, and 2.5 point underdogs - tease them up 6 points. 

7.5, 8, and 8.5 favorites - tease them down 6 points.
