Defer in overtime?

Re: Defer in overtime?
Nope. I would say yes if it were not for the stupid TD rule. Take the ball and at least get the FG and put the pressure on the other team to score.

What about always going for an onside kick?
You get the ball, you're in good position to win outright with a couple first downs ands a FG. They get the ball, you still have the opportunity to prevent a TD and then match/beat with a FG/TD |

Not with this team. go out and score 7 an end it.

Defer always.

coin toss winner is 13-8-1... that's all the evidence you need that taking the ball is working.

Re: Defer in overtime?
this article is stupid because it sets out to prove that you should defer, rather than looking at the numbers objectively.
if the toss-winning team is winning more often -and- both teams are possessing the ball more often -then- turnovers and punting inside the 20 are probably winning games for the toss-winning team. |

Since a touchdown wins it immediately, it never makes sense to defer.
