While a trio of Thanksgiving Thursday games narrow down the slate for Sunday, there is no doubt that there is still excellent value in some of the lines for this weekend’s action. We took the time to identify where the best potential lies when it comes to building a four-team, seven-point teaser for Sunday’s NFL action. Here is a look at the best teaser pick for Week 12 of the NFL season.
New England Patriots at New York Jets
Line: New England -9.5
The Patriots are 15-4 against the spread in their last 15 games coming off a loss. This time around, they get a bye week and a trip to face the New York Jets for an opportunity to bounce back from a 34-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Jets have dropped four in a row and they have failed to cover the spread in each of them. New England might very well cover the 9.5-point spread this week. Applying the seven-point tease moves the line to Patriots -2.5. Tom Brady and company should be a lock to cover that number.

Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Chargers
Line: LA -11.5
The Chargers are coming off a tough loss and, like the Patriots, are in an excellent position to bounce back with a victory. LA is 6-0 straight up in its last six games as a double-digit favorite. They are favored by 11.5 points against the lowly Cardinals. However, the seven-point tease moves them to -4.5. Phillip Rivers and company could be in line for a big win at home. LA should be able to win this one by five points or more.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos
Line: Pittsburgh -3
Pittsburgh is the lone remaining AFC team that is undefeated on the road so far this season. Now they travel to Denver to face a Broncos side that is coming off a big win over the Chargers, but is still just 4-6 overall. Denver’s strong play of late has been enough to keep the line for this game to Pittsburgh -3. However, if you apply the seven-point tease you can move the Steelers to +4. Pittsburgh should have no problem covering that number in a game that they could very well win straight up.
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
Line: Minnesota -3.5
The first time Green Bay and Minnesota met this season they battled all the way to a 29-29 tie. While it’s unlikely they tie again the second time around, there is every reason to believe this game will be close as two desperate teams fight to improve their playoff position. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are staring down a must-win game at 4-5-1, with a chance to get back to .500 this week. While Kirk Cousins and the Vikings also need a win, they aren’t about to blow Green Bay out of the water in this contest. Applying the seven-point tease moves the Packers from +3.5 to +10.5 for this showdown. Rodgers and company should be a lock to at least keep this game close or win straight up as the final team on our optimal four-team, seven-point teaser ticket.
