Thank You.

55.2/44.8 =1.232143

Fav approx -123
Dog approx +123

PS. I am assuming those numbers are %'s

If you put your percentages into this calculator it will convert them for you automatically

Every moneyline has an implied probability attached to it. This is also the percentage of bets you would need to win if you were to break even if all your bets were at the given odds, and you would only bet a number if you thought the outcome was more likely to occur than the implied probability of the price you were paying. For example:

You believe the Yankees have a 60% chance of winning a matchup
You would only bet the Yankees if you were getting odds better than -150, since the implied probability of -150 is 60%

The total does have an impact on the relationship between money line and point spread, correct?

It can, but this question is about the mere translation of win chance into odds format, so, no.

Only in extreme examples. An NBA total of 196 versus 201 shouldn't impact the money line.
