NFL Thanksgiving Bets
While many fans bet on the spread, moneyline and total, teasers are another popular bet for fans that understand how to bet on the NFL. The menu of engagement and entertainment options at BetOnline drive even more watch and wager interest with player props, futures and live/in-game betting.
Understanding teaser bets, odds, key numbers and adjusting the point spread or total in your favor can help you profit from the experience if a moneyline or spread bet isn’t of interest or the line has moved. For example, the Ravens were a 10-point favorite on Nov. 19, but three days later they are -7 with the expected return of QB Joe Burrow for the Bengals. The game total also rose sharply from 50 to 53 points.Â
BetOnline sportsbook has the best teaser odds in the business for 2-team 6-point teasers (-115) or 6.5-point teasers (-125). If you want a plus price return, then you can place a 3-team 6-point teaser bet at +155 odds, or 6.5-point teaser at +145. A 4-team 6-point teaser returns +245 and 6.5-point teaser +225.
So here are preferred teaser bets on the four NFL Thanksgiving games. You can mix and match them into 2 or 3 or 4-leg teasers, 6 or 6.5 points.
- Packers (+10)
- Cowboys (+10.5)
- Ravens -0.5
