The problem often with these analytics is it requires you and your opponent to do the expected thing every time over a large sample of games before you would even see any sort of significant advantage.


The other problem is the analytics don't account for human nature. I'm sure Detroit's players felt a whole lot more comfortable with a 31-23 lead than they would have at 31-24.

Couldn't you make the same argument that Detroit would feel less comfortable if Tampa would have gotten the 2 point conversion and Detroit was only up 6?
