 Will helium make a football fly further? Let's find out. We filled two NFL footballs with helium and two with regular air. Then I kicked 25 field goals with each to see how well I could perform. The left ball is air, the right ball is helium. Every single kick was a 45 yard field goal and my first kick with a helium ball was a bomb. That ball soared. And after a ton of kicks, I finally got down to the last two, money. Here are my end results. With the air filled football, I went 13 for 25. But with the helium football, I went 19 for 25. So was this placebo effect? Or is it really that much better? Subscribe for more.
