https://www.frontiersin.org/article...gression equation,—defense or offense first).Can't remember what team it was a year or so ago that looks at the stats and thought there seemed to actually be an advantage to taking the ball first so long as you can go score. Puts the pressure on the other team.
The advantage of offensive first seems to exist only in the first period of the overtime game. The college football overtime is really interesting from a game theory perspective since it is a finite repeated game nested within another finite repeated game (offensive v defensive).
