Still undecided on two of the four wild card games this weekend.....I feel like home field adv has a huge influence in football relative to the other major sports. I do not like laying poinrd on the away team unless they are far better than their opponent. Any thoughts guys?
Home field matters less in the playoffs in my opinion.
Baltimore was what, a 9.5 point dog last year in Denver? How many times did Marty Schottenheimer teams lost at home, 15-1 teams, 13-3 teams. How about the dirty birds going into the Metrodome to beat the 15-1 Vikings? Donovan Mcnabb and Andy Reid losing all those NFC championships. Tony Dungy always lost as a favorite. Atlanta losing at home last year where Matt Ryan was never supposed to lose. Drew Brees going into Chicago and winning his super bowl year.
I don't know if it is the setting or stronger playoff quality opponents or what but you will see home teams lose.
