I'm in the middle of a career change and am getting a masters in applied statistics. I'm taking a machine learning class with a large final project. I've heard that some online bookmakers offer lines on individual NFL skill players like Todd Gurley o/u ______ yards in a game. I'd like to find data on what those closing lines were during the 2018 NFL regular season. For the project, I'd like to take the first 12 weeks' worth of individual player performance data (attempts, yards, etc.) and program an algorithm that will predict a player's performance in week 13, based on weeks 1-12. Once the algorithm makes it's week 13 predictions, I would like to compare those predictions to what the closing lines were for those players and what the actual outcome was in week 13. I hope this all makes sense
Is there anywhere I can find such data on what the individual players' betting lines were last season?
Thanks
