agree

anyone have a database to suggest whether adjusting a total 6 or 7 points is either a long term winner or loser? teasing longterm is a loser, but maybe there could be an exception. like teasing the lowest total up and highest total down, alot of old timers like that teaser.

I would consider teasing a total if I can cross a FG and Touchdown, like 35 1/2 to 42 1/2. Crossing the 38 and 42. also total key numbers are 41 and 37, so 35 1/2 to 42 1/2 should win longterm

No data base, but read the 7 pt tease is best and that is what I always use, but normally sides only for me

Have been winning consistently over the years with 3-team, 10-point teasers on totals...this seems to work better in the NFL than college...
