If you change it to where you have to match scores you get an obvious advantage to the team getting the ball 2nd. Watch on coin they will choose to kick. I mean why not. A three and out will give you field advantage. Turnover. Knowing if you need to go for it on 4th regardless where you're on the field. Having the option to go for 2. It's fine as it is. You know you gotta stop a team from going usually 75 yds. Maybe get rid of the coin flip somehow. Have a danceoff and let the crowd decide. j/k
I'm one that doesn't want the rules changed for playoff games. If you're going to change the rules, you might as well do it for all the games. I still feel the rule is fine. Just stop them on defense and score when you get the ball back. I'd also like to know what the % is for teams who get the ball first to win the game.
