Samford

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

Samford is worth +20.1 points more at home than on the road.

Top tenth of FBS, 100th percentile of 133 programs

100% at home, 0% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (1–0 home, 0–10 away).

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, Samford has beaten the number by 9.2 points less at home than away over 47 games — outside the ±8.8 that many games can resolve. This is one of the few buildings where the results say something the flat number does not.

Seibert Stadium seats 6,700 and has averaged 64% full (4,314, 12 games reported). Visitors cover a median 269 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.
