NFL Home Field Advantage?
When you look at the visual what do you see? What does it make you think? What do you wonder?
In this activity students use an infographic to compare NFL team home and away wins. Students consider the best home team, the best away team and consider if NFL teams really do seem to have a home field advantage. FYI: NFL teams play 8 home and 8 away games each season (not including any playoff games).
For members we have an editable Word doc, solutions and an Excel sheet with the 32 teams’ data and a chart.
