There are industry standards that have been set and then sportsbooks deviate a little bit based on their risk profile. Sportsbooks offer different payout prices on teasers, much like they do on parlays.

So, on your two-team teaser, you would have Packers +8 and Steelers PK, when the original lines were +2 and -6. Playing a six-point teaser with the Steelers would drive that number down to a pick ‘em. You get +3, +4, +6, and +7, which are all key numbers in the NFL. Putting a six-point teaser on the Packers would drive that line up to +8. Let’s say that the Packers are a two-point underdog. The way a teaser works is that the bettor will add a certain number of points to the line in order to get a more favorable situation. These bet types can be very profitable in certain situations, but, as the name suggests, sometimes they can just be a great, big tease. More often than not, you’re going to see 6, 6.5, and 7 point teasers in football and anywhere from 4-6 points in basketball. The industry standard is to allow teasers from 6-13 points on football and 4-10 points on basketball. In a teaser, you sacrifice some of the payback in order to get a better line.
