One thought on this is that when picking the spreads, the handicappers are not trying to pick the probability of the winning spread, but rather to insure that equal amounts are bet on each side of the proposition. They do not want to pay the winners from their pockets, but rather the loosers pockets. This will tend to skew the results somewhat from the mathematical curve.
