If some of the pros here could take a second to verify this I would appreciate it.
It I take a 6 point teaser then I would be taking Pittsburgh (+9) and I could also add 6 to the over under so I would have the under 42...is that right?
Pitt +9
Pitt/NE Under 42
What does everyone think about that bet and does anyoneknow the latest weather report for the game?
Thanks,
Jedius!

the weater report is still calling for snow
i live in MD and we are suppose to get up to 8 inches today so i am pretty sure that all of PA is gonna get hit as well.
in terms of the teaser yes you are right, i like the chances of both of the plays, but i cant imagine the payout being anything great. the chances of the teaer are good imo but a 2 team teaser doesnt give good payout odds.
hope that helps, if you are confident in the teaser then play it, dont let me talk you out of it because the payout odds arent great. BOL

Pitt +9 seems safe or should i say "better than Pats +6" in regards to the under 42 part, well the last time i checked the total was 35 making it go to 41 not 42. The fact of possible snow shouldn't be of much concern, if there is any snow it'll be done falling & the field will be cleared. I want to advise you, the safer play imho would be to go over 29.

The teaser can be a good option, especially when it affects key numbers. In a 6.5 point teaser you lay 110 to win 100 and for a 7 point teaser you lay 120 to win 100. Really no different than a straight play against the spread (lay 110 to win 100).
I think if you're going to play Pittsburgh and the Under you should lay the little bit extra and go with a 7 point teaser. It's not often that a teaser affects 2 key numbers. With 10 being a key number affecting spreads and 41 being a VERY important number affecting totals you're getting tremendous value with Pittsburgh +10 / Under 41.5. Plus in your case if Pittsburgh stays within 10 it will likley be as a result of good defensive play so if one wins, they'll likely both win.

BOL on whatever ya play but teasers are just that...they tease ya
Pitts +9 looks good but teasing up and going under,well I hate that one....prefer the tease down and go over....
Again...bol on whatever ya choose.............snow won't be a factor but heavy winds might be
