Why not chart the biggest line moves and bet them the morning of the games using 10-13 point teasers?

<HR style="COLOR: #fdde82" SIZE=1> Let's see how these do starting this week. 3 biggest line moves so far are:

Lines from Pinnacle

Northwestern opened +36 and is now 33.5
Illinois opened +23 and is now +21
Kentucky opened +1.5 and is now -1.5

So using a 3 team, 10 point teaser the plays would look like this if they were being played today:

Northwestern +43.5
Illinois +31
Kentucky +8.5

Teasing college football game will not be a profitable endeavor long term, I can promise you that. Too much variance from the line. However, I do understand the point about there being some good information to be taken from those early line moves.

you know, I always hate teasing those huge spreads because it seemed no matter how much I teased them (unless I used a 21point tease) I still got blasted. Probably just bad luck but it just seemed like more often than not my additional 7, 10 or 13 points got put up on the bad team and then some.
