    Is homefield advantage much of a factor this season?

    I know there's travel time and weather, but other than that, is there a real edge to homefield advantage? Lack of crowd noise allows the visiting team to do things they usually wouldn't, like call audibles and not have to do silent snap counts.

    Nope. Lots of players commenting on being able to hear the offensive huddle

    Yeah it seems like the only advantage is weather (if you're a cold weather team late in the season, or hot weather team early on), and logistics (travel time). "Hostile territory" is not a thing this year

    Steelers should play Rengade over and over again the whole game. I'm sure that will get on some teams nerves.

    I’m not talking about home field throughout the playoffs I’m just talking home games in general with the small / no crowds

    I think it still is at Hienz because it’s hard for visitors to kick FGs as well as Bos can.
