Subject: Site forecasts to compare with regression


  Posted by: Lake Trout - [246252620] Sun, Jul 26, 2015, 21:25

Good evening. I'm messing around with a regression to try and predict daily NFL performance. I'd like to see if I can beat the predictions of the popular fantasy sites. Does anyone have historical, weekly, predictive data from 2014 (or any other year) from NFL.com, Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, etc. or know where I could get it? To be clear, I'm not looking for what happened. I'm looking for what the experts thought would happen.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to start here. Not sure how well the format fits your needs, but there is a good chunk of data to work with.

The best place I know to start would be FantasyPros and their annual accuracy contest. Here's a link to get started: http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/accuracy/daily-fantasy-experts.php

Thanks for sharing this. I'm actually looking for fantasy data though. So, in week 1, Matthew Berry predicted M. Lynch would have 15 points, etc.
