Discussions about point spreads need to take into account the fact that they are not necessarily an indicator of an expected outcome in the game. By in large, it is a measure of the betting public's expectations and other factors, designed to get something approaching equal "action" on both sides of the line. There is nothing "stupid" about a betting line if bets are somewhat evenly distributed on either side.
