Sinners vs. Project X Betting Preview

I doubted Sinners before I found out that Project X will appear with a new lineup and that’s why I opted to back the favorites here. Although the odds are not very attractive and are drooping rapidly, feel free to back Sinners because this pick is a sure shot. I am not saying they will cover the -1.5 handicap, but a straight victory shouldn’t be under question.

The Pick: Sinners to win (-185 @PINNACLE)
