Cards +5.5 and ATL +2.5 sound right to me.

You're going to get "inconsistencies" in closing lines from every source. That's why I'm trying to put together a DB from as many sources as possible.

do you guys know of a program that will take ANY db, determine its format and translate it into a .csv file?

i'm sure i've heard of such software, but i've googled until i'm blue in the face...

TLT,

You have PM turned off. PM me if you want to discuss offline. I have some data, but like you, I'd like to have more. If you are finding data sources, I can probably create a consolidated database, and I also have the analytical SQL skills to delve into any trends you can think of.

This site seems to have the relevant data for the NFL and college football. This is already broken down by season and is in CSV format. Obviously having more sources to compare spreads and such is still important.

Awesome, thanks!

100 on stars or Paypal for that NFL closing line data (94-07) in CSV.

isn't that what Mr. NFL charges for his database which goes back to 87 or so

Neat, Mr. NFL's data is actually available for free. Thanks!

It's viewable online for free, but scraping that into a database would be kind of annoying. He sells the database file for $99. Let me know if I'm mistaken here.
