The vaunted home dog in the NFL hasn’t been all that vaunted over the past six seasons. NFL home teams catching points are 263-250-8 (51.26%) against the spread since 2006. That success rate isn’t making any money.
But there are a few home-field advantages that have come into play consistently in recent seasons, none more so than CenturyLink Field where the mighty Seattle Seahawks are 14-7-1 ATS as a home dog.
The Arizona Cardinals also have had success as home dogs, going 14-7 ATS in the desert heat when catching points.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the other side of the coin, as Raymond James Stadium has rarely lifted the Bucs when they’re batting a superior team and the underdog.
Tampa Bay is 6-15 ATS as a home dog over the past six seasons.
Another Florida team is right behind the Bucs - the Miami Dolphins are a lousy 6 -14 ATS as a home dog since 2006.
