Methodology: Home field advantage measured by ATS (against the spread) performance. The spread equalizes talent differences, so consistent outperformance = genuine home field edge. Neutral-site games excluded. FCS opponents excluded. Minimum 3 home underdog games required. Home underdog = spread > 0 (team getting points). ATS Cover % excludes pushes from the denominator. Data: 2024–2025.
