NFL Week 15 teasers: Proven NFL expert ranks top teaser options, which don't include the Panthers
We once again correctly diagnosed a teaser leg to avoid in our intro, noting that the Eagles had blowout potential against the Cowboys. Even better, all six of the teaser legs we highlighted came through, though it's possible not all of them had teaseable numbers depending on at what point of the week you tried to play them. The Bengals in particular went from teaseable underdogs on Wednesday to moderate favorites by kickoff.
If you're trying to figure out which teams to tease and you're stuck, you may want to consider the underdog in a game with a low total. In games where there isn't a lot of scoring projected, the six points you use in a teaser become even more valuable because the margin of victory is unlikely to be more than a touchdown. But that's not a rule I'd apply to the Panthers, who I have no interest in teasing up to +9 against the Falcons.
The total for Falcons-Panthers is 35, and the Under has a realistic shot of hitting. But the Panthers offense has been so bad that opposing offenses can run up the score even if they're not playing well. Take the Saints last week, who averaged just four yards per play against Carolina but won 28-6 because they got a blocked punt TD and started two of their three offensive TD drives on the Panthers' side of the field. Even with the Panthers defense playing well over the last few weeks, the offense has been so bad that it wouldn't be shocking to see Carolina lose any game 13-3 or 10-0.
