    Default Looking for Historical NFL Lines with Results ATS

    Anyone know a good site to get historical NFL scores and spreads? I'd prefer a site that provides data that is easy to export into Excel and/or Access AND goes back at least 10 years. It would be a bonus if the site references sources for the lines (i.e. opening or closing line, book offering line, etc).

    So far the best I've found is Sunshine, but I can't find any info on their source for their lines. That means I can crunch some numbers, but I'm not too sure about how to use the results.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    donbest.com used to have them. Their website is all different now and I haven't been able to find "archives" there anymore. I'm not a member there, so maybe it is available if you are.

    Thanks for the input guys. I decided to go with the info at that sunshine forecasting has posted on thier site because the info is easy to download into Excel and they confirmed that most of the lines are closing (or new closing) lines, which works for me.

    I found this post searching for the same kind of data. Glad I saw that you mentioned Sunshine. That looks promising. I couldn't find anything besides recent trends at DonBest or Covers.

    I also found these two sites, but I haven't gotten to go through any of their data yet.

    http://www.footballlocks.com Has historical closing lines going back to 2006. You have to scroll dow
    n towards the bottom of the pages.

    http://www.sportspool.com/football/spreads/ Has lines back to 2005.
