Home team? Defensive Line?
It is the imaginary area between the defense's 20-yard line and its goal line from which the offense is most likely to score points. It also is how well a team performs in the red zone can often determine the outcome of a game.
A football team, or perhaps a basketball team.
A loss of yardage in football is when someone on the team holds the football in his/her hand(s)/arm(s) and someone on the other team tackles the person with the football before the person with the football can advance across the line in which the play started. For example: the team with the football start on the fifty yard line and they need to advance the ball to the forty yard line for a first down. The football gets snapped to the quarterback. The quarterback has two options: run with the football or throw the football to someone on his/her team so the team can attempt to get the ball across the forty yard line. The quarterback notices that someone on the other team is running at him/her and runs backwards to the forty yard line. Before the quarterback has the chance to either run with the football or throw the football, the person tackles the quarterback at the forty yard line resulting in a ten yard loss.

Unlike other sports, the betting lines in the National Football League (NFL) are relatively simple. Typically a line is set with a plus or minus line to denote how much a team is favored or an underdog based on the game's expected score. A better bets whether or not a team will cover that line, which is to say exceed the number of points they are expected to win or lose by. So if a team is favored by 8 1/2 points, for a better to win, the team would have to win by nine or more points.
