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 15 home games required for the selected range. ATS Cover % excludes pushes from the denominator. Data: 2021–2025.
