7-Point Teaser (-140): Lions +10 and Cowboys -0.5
We are combining plays on the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys in a seven-point teaser. Supporting this action, our primary power rankings framework makes the Bears no more than five points better than the Lions at Ford Field today, while we make America's team to be eight or nine points better than then visiting Raiders.
Teasing Detroit moves the line through several key levels, which dramatically improves the chance of covering.
Supporting the Boys versus the teased line, we note that big favorites have historically delivered the straight up win on Thursdays.
Teams laying at least a touchdown on the first day of the football week won 86% of the time since 2004. Backing teams in this spot on the moneyline has been good for a 7% long-term return on investment.
Happy betting!!
