[Chi_archie]

since the new rules?

[B1GER1C828]

i believe its its either 1/10 or 1/11 chance of getting it.

[SamsNCharge99]

very very little

maybe 5 onside kicks recovered a year, including the ones where it looks like a regular kickoff and they blindside the defense.

Of regular onside kicks, maybe 1 or 2 all year

[Nicky Santoro]

Of regular onside kicks, maybe 1 or 2 all year

my guess is like 10% chance

[SamsNCharge99]

[Chi_archie]

it used to be over 50%


but there are new rules now

[twister]

Definitely very few.

[StraitShooter]

15% Id say

Per wikipedia,
about 12% if the return team is setup for "onsides defense"
about 50% if the return team is caught unaware.

Here's another thought:
How does a team attempting onsides kicks when they aren't "supposed" to affect the return average for their opponents against them when they do a normal kick? If the threat of an onsides kick lowers their return average a few yards, that can weigh heavily.
