Re: Home advantage and capping.
Great post Lori... I think one thing to consider is the variance of a team's play. Those teams with higher variance in their play deserve a bigger edge at home vs. on the road. I.e. PIT this year in the NFL - a completely different team at home vs. on the road.
The teams that have low variance, which are generally the best teams and worst teams likely deserve less of a home/away adjustment as they are far more consistently good or bad.
Would peope generally agree/disagree?
