There's nothing quite like playing at home in the National Football League. Familiar surroundings, supportive fans and a comfortable atmosphere all contribute to that wonderful entity known as home-field advantage.

Some teams, though, do a much better job than others of riding their home-field advantages to victory. These teams scrap, claw and fight their way up and down the football field to ensure opponents know whose house they are visiting.

By consistently winning at home, these teams also ensure that the strength of their home-field advantages remains intact.

Today, we're going to look at the eight teams in the NFL who best protect their home turfs. We'll be basing our picks on a combination of factors, including home record over the past five seasons, weather conditions, atmosphere and home playoff record where applicable.

Our picks are ranked in reverse order, counting down to No. 1.
