How much is NFL home field advantage worth?

Home margin is the average home score minus the away score in regular season games, with neutral site games left out. Market HFA is the average closing spread for the home team, which is what the betting market expects. Over market is the home margin minus the closing spread: a positive number means home teams beat the spread on average that season.

From 2006 to 2014 the closing market gave the home team about 2.4 to 2.9 points. Since 2020 it has given about 1.1 to 1.8 points, and home teams with no fans in 2020 won by almost nothing. Check the current season row before you add a flat 3 points to a line.

Team home field advantage

Team HFA is half the gap between a team's home margin and its road margin over the last five seasons. It takes out how good the team is, because a strong team wins at home and on the road. Five seasons is still a small sample for one team, so treat big team numbers with care.
