The only controversial thing about it is that it might not be factoring in ties, but I couldn't see anything definitive about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last figures I saw showed that the coin flip loser doesn't even get the ball in about 22% of OTs. And all that is saying that if a defense get's their offense the ball back after losing the flip, they are more likely to win the game than lose. If those numbers are true, I believe that would mean that 61% of teams that get the ball back have won the game. The fact that the final number is pretty damn even is all you need to know about the system being fine.

Where on earth are you getting that? He’s saying that 22% of the time the coin toss winner scores a TD their initial drive I’d like to know the stats how how many times the 2nd team has a game winning drive their first attempt... I’d be astonished if it’s close to the same 22%, my guess is that it’s probably like 35% Edited January 26, 2019 by wiscotitansfan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much as close to 50/50 as you can ask for, it's good how it is.

EnlightenedTitan777 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 A College rules variation for the NFL playoffs could be cool though.... And it doesn’t skew the regular season record books..... I think Mahomes got hosed and even if it was the Patriots who where in the same boat I would have TB12 would have deserved a shot...... All phases of the team deserve an equal opportunity to move forward and not have a coin affect the equality of the formula..... This is my opinion I’m not attempting to incite anyone whom believes the current system is sufficient...... Different strokes for different folks.......
