Looking for old point spreads

I'm looking for point spreads of games from prior NBA and NFL seasons. If anyone knows of a resource where I can find this information, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The problem with point spreads is, they can change.

Here's a suggestion: find a library that has old newspapers archived, either in print or on, say, microfiche. A significant number of papers - especially those in larger cities - will have NFL and NBA point spreads in their sports sections. The only problem with this is, you have to search through a significant number of issues if you want a significant number of games' worth of point spreads.

You should check out covers.com You can get historical data there.

Also sports-reference.com

I don't have any connection with these guys but I think this is reasonably accurate info on scores and lines.
It is downloaded in EXCEL format so you need some EXCEL skills to use it.

Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for, and already in a spreadsheet, too!

Thanks!
