Home-field advantage · 2018–present · FBS opponents
UC Davis is worth +8.3 points more at home than on the road.
Top tenth of FBS, 98th percentile of 133 programs
67% at home, 23% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (2-1 home, 3-10 away). Interval ±9.1.
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, UC Davis has beaten the number by +6.0 more at home than away over 55 games. That is inside the ±8.3 that many games can resolve, so the results cannot tell this stadium from the flat number. That is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Aggie Stadium seats 10,743 and has averaged 104% full (11,201, 17 games reported). Visitors cover a median 605 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 43 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.
