    Home Teams went 4-12 last week.Personally, I think it is a bit overrated as normally the better team is going to win, regardless of Home Field.

    I think it CAN make a difference between two equal teams, but it can only do so much.Speaking from personal experience, you hear more from the stands when there's the fewest people there. The more noise, the less you hear since everything gets drowned out.

Mad quiet and when someone said something you heard it.

    It also depends where you are. If you say Seattle, the 12th man comes into factor. If you are talking about Giants Stadium, not really.

    I think it depends what team it is and what coaching you have. If it the Colts then home field advantage wont mean a damn thing to them unless they prove us wrong.

I had to. lolI also agrees that it depends on the team. I mean, the Bears had HFA in 2001 and 2005 and we lost both times.
