NFL Week 16 teaser pick rankings Saints rally back on Christmas plus seven more teaser options to consider

Back on the winning side with the Teaser of the Week after the and took care of busine s, and of our six teaser options for Week 15, only the at No. 5 mi sed the cover. That moves our record to 8-6-1, which is good but Cody Conway Jersey well behind the run I'm putting together with my entire slate of picks at SportsLine, after cashing on the on Monday night.I've done the legwork of going through all the lines as of Tuesday night and identifying the best teasing opportunities of the week. Below, I've ranked all the sides I think are in play for teasers this week, considering only the standard six-point teasers. You can take the top two options and put them together for my Teaser of the Week, or you can be bold and try and hit a bigger payout. 1. -2 vs. BengalsLast week, the Texans were our No. 1 team to tease against, so why do they take the top spot one week later? Well, just look at the team they're playing. The Bengals are coming off an enormous upset of the in a game where the defense played like it was the Super Bowl. On a short week against a non-rival, we can't expect that type of intensity. And it's not like blew the doors off in the win, his first ever. Expect and Co. to get the win as Cincy comes back down to earth. 2. -1 vs. I wanted to put the Saints No. 1 this week as I think the Minnesota lo s last week will cause them to check out for this game, but it's hard to have a ton of confidence with how that New Orleans offense looked last week. Still, this one is all about the Saints defense rising up and getting a win they need if they're going to have any shot at securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC and the bye that comes along with it.3. +7.5 at The Rams got caught looking ahead last week, falling to a terrible team as 17-point favorites. Now they'll look to make up that lo Jacob Tamme Jersey s against the rival Seahawks, and if they can get the win, they'll effectively be a half-game up in the division as they'll own the tiebreaker. The Rams have only lost twice to the Seahawks in the Sean McVay era, and neither was be more than six points. 4. -1.5 at This one is probably going to end up in a lot of teasers this week, but I just don't love teasing big road favorites down, even when they're playing a team like the Jaguars. But it's hard to dismi s what the Bears are doing on offense, so this is probably a safe play if you want to roll with it instead of one of my top teams. 5. +8.5 at WashingtonEven though this is a tough matchup for the Panthers offense, I just don't know what to expect from Washington when they have the ball, and I don't think it's a given they just rack up points against this bad defensive unit. Carolina has been out of the playoff race for weeks but is still playing hard for first-year coach Matt Rhule, giving up le s than 100 yards of pa sing offense to the Packers -- the Packers! -- last week.6. +8 vs. has revitalized the Eagles offense, but take note of what happened to their defense last week: 526 yards allowed and 33 points on the scoreboard that could've been 50 if not for two turnovers inside the Eagles' 10-yard line and another turnover on downs at the edge of field goal range. If the secondary isn't significantly healthier this week, it's hard to see them running away from a talented Dallas offense.7. +9 vs. did some good things when pre sed into duty last Thursday, and with the extended week to get ready, I think the Quinn Meinerz Jersey Raiders offense can have some succe s against a Dolphins team that isn't nearly as good against the run as they are against the pa s. It'll be on his shoulders (and legs) though, because this Vegas defense cannot stop anybody. 8. +9 at The Broncos struggled to contain the Chargers offense NFL Denver Broncos Jersey in their first meeting but ultimately came away with the win. With their i sues at cornerback this time around, it's going to be even tougher to slow them down, which is why this teaser option ranks so low. This is more a play on the Chargers only winning by more than six points once this year, when they beat the Jaguars by 10 at home with two weeks to prepare. (-9.5) at Hard to have much confidence in a Bucs team that can get sleepy on the field at any time, though they did wake up in time to beat the last week. You'd need to get this line under 3 to even consider teasing here. at (-5)This line is steaming toward the Cardinals, so if you liked them, I hoped you took it early in the week. I have no interest teasing the 49ers with C.J. Beathard at quarterback knowing their season is over. Falcons at (-10.5)The Chiefs have been letting their opponents hang around over the second half of the year, so I'm not comfortable teasing them unle s we're getting them under 3. at (-11)Just like last week, the Ravens are probably a safe team, but there's not much value if teasing them at this number. If you like them, just lay the points. ( Bobby Massie Jersey -9.5) at JetsHere's an interesting one: The Jets are primed for a letdown after waving the 0-16 cloud away from over their heads, but I'd want to get Cleveland down to at least 3 here just to be safe. Colts (-1.5) at SteelersLoved teasing the Colts up when they were 'dogs before the Steelers' embarra sing Monday night lo s, but I have no confidence in Pittsburgh to bounce back in this matchup, so this is now a stayaway. at Packers (-3.5)The Titans had better score on every po se sion if you tease them, as it's hard to see that defense slowing down even a little bit. I don't want any part of them. (-7) at PatriotsProbably the last potential teaser team cut from this week's rankings. Everything is going right for the Bills right now, but are you really confident they get the win in Foxborough in primetime? With Bill Belichick coaching his last meaningful game of the season? I'm staying far away.
