I’m trying to place 20 parameters of NFL games and have the computer do the work for me instead of me painstakingly doing it by hand.

For example: It would alert me to bet against a team that won their last 3 against the spread.

Example: it would alert me when a team is favored when they’re playing a non-divisional opponent when sandwiched between 2 divisional games on each side

Example: it would alert me if a team that got beat by 20+ playing a team that won by 20+.

Is there any pre-made software people can use like this on an iOS app?

Do you have a good data source? Does the data have to be "massaged" a good bit, or is it in a pretty usable tabular format?

Once the data is in a database, your examples can be accomplished with sql queries. Then anything can be built on top of that.

I have no idea what you just asked my man.

I would like to insert data ie teams and point spreads and then have an already built in formula for when the games come out with a spread.

So when I put the scores and spreads of all the games, designate which games made divisional and which are not, etc etc etc ...I have my formula already telling me it matches with x amount of probabilities. I want to know if a team is favored after playing 3 non-divisional opponents without having to do all the work.

I’m not betting big, but I’m putting in a lot of hours going to websites and going through the data with 32 teams. It’s monotonous and I’m pretty ADD. I appreciate you reaching out and helping me out going forward if you’re able.

Is there an app already, no. Is it something that can be done, yes. You need an app that scrapes the data from your source material and then analyzes it according to your algorithm. I'd recommend learning Python or JavaScript to build this, or go to upwork and hire a freelancer for a few hundo.

That's what he wants to know. I don't think he actually wants to learn to program, he wants to win fantasy football. He should google fantasy football apps. I googled "fantasy football app" which lead to googling "fantasy football prediction app" which lead me to this page which I think probably has apps like the OP is looking for

You probably should have asked this question on the Fantasy Sports board. LINK / they'll be a lot more familiar with the kind of tools you're looking for.

The OP is sports betting based on a certain set of rules (algorithm) he has come up with. Sure there may be apps out there SIMILAR to what he wants to do, but I highly doubt someone has already built an app with his specific set of rules he wants applied to the data. I never said he had to learn how to program, he can pay someone to program it. Hell, if he can prove his system works a high percentage of the time I'll write that shite for free.
