First, let me say thanks for providing the odds archive, as well as the live feed and this forum. I really appreciate all of it.
I've noticed a problem with the odds archive.
Here is a copy/paste of the 7/4 KC/SEATTLE game

From 11 am thru 7:38 Seattle is the left column and from 7:50 to the end KC is the left column.
the teams are not named, so there is no way of knowing that KC became the FAV in the last hour. Actually, at 7:38 KC, at -106 , was a slight fav but still in the right column. Then when they went to -108 they moved and stayed in the left column.
This is very confusing. Had I not been watching the odds for this game at different times thru the day, there is no way of knowing which team is which.
I've seen this situation often for games with odds in the above range. I have also seen cases where the fav changed to a dog and the + odds stayed in the left (FAV) column. This is actually better because a team doesn't change columns.
Maybe your programmers could look into this. Would naming the teams (or using Home/Away) as the column headers be possible? Then, a team would be in its own column for the entire time.
Anyway, thanks for all your efforts.
