Here are our Week 2 picks against the spread. For lines, I’ve decided to use two offshore books (Pinnacle, Bookmaker) and two Las Vegas books (Westgate, William Hill). Pick lines must be available at a minimum of two of the four books. If there’s no consensus, or a heavily juiced line, we’ll post the pick in the style of Asian handicap, with half the pick at one line and half the other, since we want to keep our record as a simple W/L. Teams’ chances of winning outright are displayed in parenthesis.
