Some sportsbooks getting cute with lines

Noticed lately that a couple of sportbooks are posting lines a couple of points higher than the norm and as an example post a higher money line like 16 (-125) while other are at -14 (-110 or so). I believe this is to screw teaser players by adding the extra points since most people tease the favorite, and you can't buy off when playing teasers. A straight player could buy down to the normal odds everwhere else and it usually works out to the -110 vig.
