Home field

Syracuse is worth +3.6 points (±4.1) more at home than on the road since 2018 — middle of FBS, 41st percentile.

50% at home, 34% on the road against FBS opponents (23-23 home, 15-29 away).

Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge (why); the books use about 3. Against the closing line this stadium reads +0.6 at home vs. away over 97 games — inside the ±6.5 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.

Indoors — dome hosts have beaten the number by about a point and a half more than outdoor ones, on a small sample. The visitors travel about 262 miles to get here.
