The stadium and how the home edge is measured

Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge. The books use about 3. Per-team versions were tested and did not hold up (why). Against the closing line, Alabama State has beaten the number by 7.8 points less at home than away over 40 games. That is outside the ±6.1 that many games can resolve, so this is one of the few buildings where the results say something the flat number does not.

Hornet Stadium seats 26,500 and has averaged 72% full (18,957, 14 games reported). Visitors cover a median 248 miles to get here (2018-present).

Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 39 home games since 2018. No national trip rank shown: the ranked field is FBS venues only and leaves out the service academies and venues with too few measured games.
