Completely ridiculous. You, nor I, nor Redietz gets to decide who is officially the home team. The NFL makes that distinction. And the Official NFL schedule says that on Sunday, Nov 3, 2019, the Jacksonville Jaguars hosted the Houston Texans in a game played in London and the home team, Jacksonville lost.
As a bettor, you can decide that isn't really a home game and chose not to count it as such, but you can't go making a statement like Redietz did that in an unprecedented development all home teams won, when the official NFL record books clearly says otherwise.
Similarly, on December 29, 2019, in Week 17 of the season, The Philadelphia Eagles, play an away game at the New York Giants. The Giants are likely to be a 3 or 4 win team, while the Eagles may very well need that game to make the playoffs. Eagles fans, who travel well anyway are likely to travel up the Jersey turnpike and probably have two-thirds of the fans in that stadium. Does that make the Eagles the home team and not the Giants?
These things can effect your or my decision as to how to bet the game, but it doesn't effect the official NFL record which will say the Giants are the home team. Same as the game being played in London doesn't change anything. The official NFL record says Jacksonville lost a home game to Houston. Redietz, nor you can change that.
