Where is the data from?
The data used in the NCAA model is from http://sportsourceanalytics.com/. They provide the highest quality and most detailed data for NCAA football available on the market.
The data used in the NFL model is from http://armchairanalysis.com/data.php. This source is highly regarded as an accurate source of NFL data.
Where are the historical lines from?
The lines for the NCAA data were taken from http://www.repole.com/sun4cast/. After spot checking the data, I concluded that the historical lines available in the database are taken from within the 24 hours before kick off for a game.
The lines in the NFL data were included in the Armchair Analysis report. Their lines are reported to be taken on Friday evenings for Sunday and Monday games and Wednesday evenings for Thursday night games.
