*edited to add that the ESPN lines are across the board pretty different from the Vegas lines that I'm finding. Is this normal?
Yes, because they can't update them after spreads have moved in Vegas since people start making their picks immediately based on opening spreads. Some were drastically different last year by the time games kicked off, from what I posted early in the week as the threads to use here, so we had the same thing last year.
Sometimes I would post the spreads a little later in the week, and I was also playing pigskin pick em, and they'd be so different sometimes I'd pick the opposite way that I did in the other one.
