Are you referring to the moneyline? When it comes to the spread, the books could care less who wins a sporting event. Their only goal is to arrange the spread so that the public bets 50-50 on each side and they make their money from the juice.
careful with this thinking...

theoretically you are correct, but in actual practice this is not what happens a lot of the time, our goal is to always be on the books' side when it is skewed.
