NFL Prop Bet Generator

This repository provides an AI-driven tool for generating creative NFL prop bets based on real-time NFL news headlines. The system uses RSS feeds, natural language processing (NLP), sentiment analysis, and OpenAI's API to produce prop bets related to NFL players, with accompanying odds and betting recommendations.

Features

• Headline Aggregation: Gathers NFL news headlines from a list of top RSS feeds.
• Player Identification: Uses NLP (spaCy) to extract player names from headlines.
• Sentiment Analysis: Analyzes sentiment in each headline related to the player to calculate an overall sentiment score.
• AI-Generated Prop Bets: Creates unique prop bets using OpenAI's API based on each headline.
• Database Storage: Stores player data, headlines, sentiment scores, and generated prop bets in an SQLite database.
