This will be the recurring thread for people to ask for and provide information.
Have a football research project but having trouble finding data? Want to know the answer to a question that is highly relevant but don't know where to start to look? Post away here.
I like to think of data as having three components with a context as an optional fourth: This helps organize data requests
1) When
a) Time Frame in Years. E.g. 2005-Present
b) How you want to measure data over the time frame. This can be looking at things on a high level season per season basis as granular as play-by-play data.
2) What Facts (the stats you are looking for)
3) Who (College, NFL, Teams, Players, etc. - different levels of analysis)
4) Why/Context: E.g. I am doing a study on penalty yards and winning %. Stating why can help others build on your idea or let you know of any potential pitfalls with your idea.
I'll start this off by asking if anyone has halftime statistics available.
1) a) Data from 2005-Present b) Each Game By Halftime Splits.
2) Standard stats like rushing yards, time of possession, scores, and also gambling stats like halftime lines, I cannot find historical halftime lines. Obviously things like who gets the ball and when matter here too and I'd somehow need to get that.
3) NFL --> Team-by-team data.
4) I want to see if there is a correlation between rushing advantage at halftime and winning. I want to do this by splitting up the score differentials too. In other words I want to see if a rushing edge in a close game leads to a win against the halftime spread.
Thank you in advance.
Lastly... you don't have to use my format. I just find it easier to make sure I answer a few key questions before asking for something.
