Home-field advantage · Montana · 2018–present · FBS opponents

Montana is worth +11.8 points more at home than on the road.

Top tenth of FBS, 100th percentile of 133 programs

83% at home, 29% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (5–1 home, 2–5 away). Interval ±8.1.

95% intervalmodel 2.3 · books ~3Weakest home edge in FBSStrongest

Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge — per-team modelling was tested and did not survive scrutiny (why) — and the books use about 3. Against the closing line, Montana has beaten the number by +5.3 more at home than away over 54 games — inside the ±8.4 that many games can resolve. Results here cannot tell the flat number apart from the building, and that is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.

Washington-Grizzly Stadium seats 25,217 and has averaged 100% full (25,264, 19 games reported). Visitors cover a median 697 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 57 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.
