NFL OT Rule Gotta Change

[ritehook]

I'm no big fan of the crazy way college breaks ties, but at least they try to make it interesting.

NFL giving win to first scorer puts too much emphasis on kicker.

Both teams should be given equal number of possesions. Full field. If Team A scores on first possession, Team B has one chance to win or tie.

If still tied after 3 possesions, both teams have to go for the TD. Still keep it to one 15 minute Overtime tho.

(Didn't have a bet on any OT game, JMO)

Puts too much emphasis on the coin toss.

It doesn't even need to be that fancy. All they have to do is add one simple rule: If a team scores on the opening drive of overtime, that team must then kick off to the other team to give them one possession. That is all.

Or do it like soccer. Give each team the ball 5 times at the 2 yard line with only one down allowed and see how many points they can score. They have the option to go for 6 with TD or 3 with FG.
