I got an email last night from a reader (well, a reader now!) asking this:

"Any chance you know of a web service that posts the weekly NFL lines & possibly scores as well?"

My answer? No. I don't. But I'd like to! So that's why I'm opening it up. Does anyone know of a web service that offers up NFL scores and/or odds?

I can think of one possibility, but it's a hack. Screen scrapes. There are a few sites that have a standard page for displaying that info, so scraping would be a pretty straightforward process. But a true service that served up the info would be better.

I'v always thought about using a service like that to get NFL stats, and "roll my own" fantasy football software, but never was able to find a reliable (and free) one. I could say the same thing about odds too.
