No sugar-coating here. It's been a rough start for this teaser column: 0-2 (-2.2 units).
We went for a plus-payout, three-teamer last week and missed two legs. The Panthers (+8) covered their 6-point teaser leg in a 19-16 loss at the Giants, but the Commanders (+7.5) and Bengals (-1.5) fell short. Washington lost 36-27 at Detroit; Cincinnati fell 20-17 at Dallas.
My boss, R.J. White, entrusted me with this column. It's time to start rewarding his faith — and yours.
Overall, my official SportsLine picks stand 8-6 (+ 1.4 units), my weekly best bets article is 4-2, and my picks on the Early Edge show' — heavily tilted toward props — are 12-9 (+1.92 units).
