Regarding 'home field advantage', is it usually affecting the spread by 3 points?

 

Example: Ohio State is holding as a -9.5pt favorite at Michigan.  Is the the following the correct assumption?

at Michigan -9.5

Neutral site -12.5

if at home -15.5

That is correct at home Ohio state would probably be set at 14 bc Michigan has beaten 4 times in A row

Typically 3 is given to the home team before the odds makers throw their gorilla math together…but like U La La said, they’ll take the other historics into play when adjusting. 

 

Even so, Ohio state is scary and hard to bet against seeing as they’ve stomped every team by at least 3 TDs, except Texas opening day. They’ll make a statement

The oddsmaker doesn’t care about history the current year. I’ve seen too many times a team has beaten a team double digit straight and they are not even a fg fav on their home field.
