Default Taking a longshot

Discussing potential teasers with a friend, and realized that there are a lot of good games to be teased this week. As such, taking the following longshot, single unit wagered to win 25 units:

10 Team Teaser Bet Details

Cincinnati Bengals +9½
Houston Texans +14½
Dallas Cowboys +9
Chicago Bears -1
Detroit Lions +9
Atlanta Falcons +9
New Orleans Saints +9½
St. Louis Rams +9
New York Jets +16½
Kansas City Chiefs +7½

A 15/1 seven-point tease moving those 9 or 9.5 games to 10 or across to 10.5 has value as well, given that the push on the tease would keep it live but lower the payout. But I think the 25/1 is the way to go, those games in question should stay inside ten.

Yes, I know this is -EV. But its fun, and if it hits I'm buying another TV for my game-watching setup.
