We’re officially rolling on the NFL teaser front. We’ve won a season-high three straight, and as Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ken “Hawk” Harrelson would say, “Don’t stop now, boys.” 

Lately we’ve been betting one team on the spread and then another on the total points, but this week, we’re going to do two over/under bets. And why not, each of these games features an offense that has been hot garbage all season. Plus, the under has hit 58% of the time this season. So, it’s no fluke, the under is alive and well in the NFL this season. And that’s why we like the under between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers and the under between the Houston Texans and New York Giants.

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have simply hit rock bottom. Not only hvae the Packers lost five straight games, Green Bay is 3-6 on the season and has failed to score more than 22 points in a game during its five-game skid. And with Dallas defense leading the NFC in points allowed, all we can say is good luck to Rodgers and the Packers. 

The Cowboys lead the NFL in sacks per game, and with Green Bay’s offense on life support due to all the injuries they’ve had, especially on the offensive line, don’t be shocked if Rodgers and Packers’ offensive struggles continue. Green Bay managed just nine points against Detroit last week, and they’ll be lucky if they get over 20 this week. The final score in each of the Packers’ last five games has been 49 or less, and until the offense shows some signs of life, keep taking the under. Meanwhile, Dallas is 5-3 on the under this season, and have had only one game finish with a final score north of 49. Yeah, we’re aware Dallas put up 49 against the Chicago Bears two weeks ago, but that’s not too alarming. The Bears haven’t been able to stop anyone since they traded Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith. This might be a close cover, but still, taking the under here is worth it. 

As for the final leg of our teaser, take the under of 47 points between the New York Giants and Houston Texans. The Texans are 4-4 on the under, and the Giants are 6-2. The Texans haven’t scored more than 24 points in a game all season, and the final score has been 47 or less in three of their last four.

New York has allowed more than 22 points in a game just once this season, and the Giants haven’t scored more than 27 points in a game. On top of that, the final score has been 44 or less in the Giants’ last three games. New York is the better team, but with two teams who struggle to score, and don’t allow many points, the only option here is to bet the under. Similar to the Dallas/Green Bay game, this might be a close cover, but the under here is the right play. 

The Teaser: Cowboys/Packers (under 43 points) to (under 49 points) AND Texans/Giants (under 41 points) to (under 47 points) (-105 odds via Barstool)
