    U can either take the Pack at -4 or Tampa at -24. All ties lose for "special" teasers.

    Its Really easy dude. just follow real quick. Heres an easy line to help you.

    49ers (-10) vs the Cards.

    You can either get the Niners Straight up or Cardinals +20.

    If you take Cardinals +20, even if the 49ers win 19-0 you still would win that part of your teaser.

    If you take the 49ers SU, all they have to do is win and you win that part of ur teaser

    You can tease teams 6 points, 7 points, 10 points or 13 points

    If you took washington on a 10pt teaser it would make them +18.. so cowboys would have to win by 18 instead of only 8

    you are all over the place...IF the line is -8 Dallas so it is +8 wash. Okay.. So if you like the redskins in a teaser, then if it is a 10pt teaser you add +10 to the line which would make it +18. But if you liked Dallas, then you add +10 to the dallas line.  -8+10=+2   so now you would have Dallas at +2..

    and now that you understand that, i will break your heart by saying that 10pt teasers in the long run WILL 100% lose you money... and you should never cross the 0 in a teaser which your dallas +2 does  and only use a teaser if u hit key lines like the 3/7 ...
