QUESTION ABOUT PICK THE WINNER AND THE SPREAD

[Old School]

anybody have the results[vs the line] were ya pick the winner of the game and the spread turned out to be a non factor..

I'm reminded of an old timer telling me to pick the winner and the line ya lay or take would at seasons end take care of itself..

hope I ask this right..

seem to remember someone here saying the same thing
