and then take it to ot?

Might as well kick two xps if you want to play for ot.

If you’re really adamant on playing to win/lose in regulation put all the chips on the second attempt.

Two low probability attempts vs one low probability attempt.

it isn't a "low probability attempt"

In 2023, teams were successful on 2-point conversions 70 out of 127 times (55%). You only need to convert 40% of the time for going for 2 for it to give you a better % chance of winning than kicking an XP.

Yes, the 50% of the time that your first 2 point conversion didn't work, you still get a chance to take it to OT. The 50% of the time that the first 2pt did work, you can take the PAT and not even have to play OT.

If you were forced to get your life savings on a coin flip, would you prefer 1 flip and if you lose, you lose... Or would you prefer a 2nd chance if you lose the first one to get back to even?

50% is low probability?
