MINTY BETS: Every week, people love to bet on three teams six point teasers on huge favorites and this week we have three major favorites. So who messes up this teaser? We have the Browns minus 12 and 1/2 against the Texans, the Bucs minus 12 and 1/2 against the Falcons and the Packers minus 10 and 1/2 against the Lions. OK so we're going to tease these teams down by six points. Jared, who do you think messes this one up?
JARED QUAY: I don't even know why the Browns are favored by this much? Even with the tease, I still like the Texas 100%. Texans came off a big win where they look as underdogs, they played better.
Bunch of veterans, new coach, they're hungry. Meanwhile, the Browns blew a lead, which means they're not focusing to the next week, they're thinking about how they blew that lead. I just think the Browns are in a major setup spot here to maybe lose outright, but I don't think they cover even a tease spread, so I like the Texans here to handle even the tease spread.
MINTY BETS: OK. Pam, which one messes it up for this teaser?
PAMELA MALDONADO: I'm going with the Green Bay Packers. Does Aaron Rodgers even want to be here? That's the big question.
Green Bay wins, but I think the Lions cover. Detroit, they are seven and one against the spread in the last eight when playing against the Green Bay Packers. And you got to consider, garbage time points-- it's an actual thing. The Lions don't have wide receivers, so Jared Goff is looking to his running backs as passing backs in DeAndre Swift and Jamaal Williams. They both had 56 plus receiving yards. Dump off to anybody, create some points, garbage points. I like the Lions cover on this one.
MINTY BETS: Oh OK. Well, I'm going to go with the Bucs, guys. This is a divisional game, I mean, just like the Lions and Packers, but the Browns looked great against Kansas City. Yeah, they lost their lead, but they kept it kind of close and the Saints did embarrass the Packers.
I think the Packers were just getting their week one jitters out of the way, I think they're better than what we saw in week one. The Bucs are going up against the Falcons. I think they can keep this one close. I think it'll be a lot closer than people think. So I'm saying the Bucs mess this one up.
PAMELA MALDONADO: So clearly, I think we all can agree that either one of these three teams can do it, can blow this teaser. So the point is, don't tease the big time favorites.
