PG as far as teasers go ... the BEST teasers to play are something called "wong teasers".. .made famous by a guy named wong who just bet the shit outa them and made lots of $$$ on 6 points teasers.

essentially what these are, is when you tease a line 6 points on a game that is +1.5, +2, +2.5 and the new line becomes +7.5, +8, +8.5 .... or, you do the opposite and tease a line 6 points on a game that is -8.5, -8, -7.5 and the new line becomes -2.5, -2, -1.5 .... these teasers get you past both the two most important numbers in football, which are 3 (a FG) and 7 (a TD). Below i copied and pasted an article that may help explain them better.

overall for me, these are the ONLY time i will take a teaser, and this has been proven to make a profit time and time again.

The name Wong teaser originates because the concept was popularized in the book Sharp Sports Betting by Stanford Wong. It can alternately be seen by other names including a basic strategy teaser. A Wong teaser is a two-game teaser in which teasing the spread moves it through the two key numbers of three and seven. In other words, it's a teaser involving favorites of between 7.5 and 8.5 or underdogs of between 1.5 and 2.5. If a line is reasonably accurate then you can assume about a 50 percent chance of either team covering. If the odds were -110 then you need to win about 52.4 percent of your bets to break even. To win 52.4 percent of your teasers you need to be able to win the individual games approximately 72.5 percent of the time. Because games end up being decided by three and seven more than 22 percent of the time, teasing through these two numbers increases the chances of covering a spread from about 50 percent to 72 percent or more (It's actually better than that because you are also covering the numbers four, five and six, and games can also finish with those margins as well). Over the long term, then, Wong teasers are one of the few places in betting where there is a positive expectation. In other words, Wong teasers are very good for your bankroll.

example:
Texans -8.5
Colts +8.5

Falcons -2.5
Bears +2.5

you should make a 6 point teaser with the games above to make the following bet:
Bears +8.5
Texans -2.5
