The purpose of this experiment was to find out if there is an advantage in being the home team in an NFL game. To carry out this experiment, all the home and away, wins and losses, were calculated for the past ten years of NFL standings. The ratio of home and away wins to total games per season were calculated. Afterward, a t-test was run to determine if there was a statistical difference in the home wins to away wins. All findings were recorded which explained the reasons for the final result.

After completing the procedures necessary, it was found that being the home team gives approximately a 2.5x better chance of winning the game. Graphs also show that home field advantage is increasingly becoming more important. In 1989, the home wins over home losses is only four however in 1998 it is 62. This shows that home field advantage is important and will continually become more important as time progresses.
