For example, if the Rams are a 12-point favorite, using a 6-point teaser you can bump them down to a 6-point favorite. On the same card, if the Vikings are a 2-point home... |

With just four teams left in this wacky NFL postseason, many Las Vegas Sportsbooks have posted odds on teams to win the whole thing.
