I think it's even money with Awesemo because Alex himself didn't want to take odds (as he probably thinks it's bad for his brand, which he promotes as being the #1 DFS player in the world).
He never actually offered +120 to anyone in the world. But being a jock-type dude he couldn't completely backdown so Aejones took advantage.

Chalk just means popular.
EM2 plays cash games, where having team very similar to others isn't a bad thing, because you're not trying to win a tournament, you're just trying to place in the top 50% or edge out your opponent.
In tournaments (GPP) it will be extremely -EV to have a popular lineup, because even if it does well you have to beat out 10ks of similar lineups and possibly share first place with tons of identical (duped) lineups.
EM2 specifically is sharing his lineups or model with Bryce Mauro and they routinely have identical lineups in the same tournament, which is the jab Awesemo was pointing to.
