I actually thought the data would show how unfair OT is because it feels that way, but the math shows it's actually a pretty fair system in the NFL.
although that article is 5 years old thats what i found interesting, the numbers do make it seem like it's a fair system. winning the coin toss and driving down and winning only happened 28% of the time. i need to find some more up to date numbers.
