Home field
UL Monroe is worth +6.8 points (±3.9) more at home than on the road since 2018 — top tenth of FBS, 91st percentile.
38% at home, 13% on the road against FBS opponents (15-24 home, 7-46 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 +4.6 at home vs. away over 100 games — inside the ±6.4 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.
Night kickoff — historically worth about half a point more to the home side against the number, and not much more than that. The visitors travel about 34 miles to get here.
