Home field

Toledo is worth +5.7 points (±3.8) more at home than on the road since 2018 — top third of FBS, 78th percentile.

74% at home, 49% on the road against FBS opponents (31-11 home, 23-24 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 +4.9 at home vs. away over 97 games — inside the ±6.0 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.

The visitors travel about 560 miles to get here.
