Default Stupid n00b question

I'm looking at the English Premiership market for Saturday's game on Pinnacle.

Under the Spread option it's priced as follows:

Sat 11/5 1 Aston Villa * pk and +0.5 1.952
04:43 AM 2 Liverpool * pk and -0.5 1.952

and some are:

Sat 11/5 4 Arsenal -1.5 and -2 2.070
06:58 AM 5 Sunderland +1.5 and +2 1.813

What does this all mean? I get the odds but what does pk mean and why are there two spread options?

TIA

Half of your bet will be on pick (0) and half of your bet will be on +0.5 if you have Aston Villa. Aston Villa is the dog here and you will push on half your wager and win on the other half if they manage a tie. This is the only way they can get the 2 sides to pay roughly equal amounts in some soccer games.
