[QUOTE="Planks, post: 2828599, member: 55819"] This might be a good general rule of thumb, but I can definitely see exceptions to the rule. Consider the following scenario. You are in a defensive struggle. Your defense is playing well but your offense is playing terribly. You are down 14-6 midway through the 3rd quarter. Your defense intercepts the ball and returns it for a touchdown. Why not go for the 2? The potential marginal benefit of tying it up 14-14 vs being down 14-13 outweighs the potential marginal cost of being down 14-12 vs only being down 14-13. [/QUOTE]
