Home-field advantage · Tarleton State · 2018–present · FBS opponents

Tarleton State is worth +1.9 points more at home than on the road.

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, Tarleton State has beaten the number by −0.4 more at home than away over 46 games — inside the ±8.3 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.

Memorial Stadium (Stephenville, TX) seats 24,000 and has averaged 79% full (19,048, 15 games reported). Visitors cover a median 465 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 34 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.
