I thought you couldn't open OT with an onside kick?

It would just be suicide to do so because there is no advantage. If you recover an onside kick, it is not sudden death as the other team never had possession. Therefore, you risk giving up a short field, and thus greatly lose a lot of odds of winning.

Huh?
It's a free kick. The ball is live for any player on either team once it crosses 10 yards. How would you enforce a rule like "no onside kicks to start OT" if the kicking team could theoretically recover the kick 50 yards down the field?

Something kind of cool that may not be known. So overtime starts, say it takes team a 11 minutes to go down the field and score a field goal. Team b then gets the ball and is in the middle of their drive, but the four minutes runs out in the overtime period. The game is in fact not over, because team b is still on their opening overtime possession. So a second overtime will begin for the conclusion of team b's possession.

Did you read saintsfan's rule book answer to question 1 above?
quote:
(e) The opportunity to possess applies only during kicking plays. A kickoff is the opportunity to possess for the receiving team. If the kicking team legally recovers the kick, the receiving team is considered to have had its opportunity.

This isn't common knowledge? Especially the second scenario.
A change of possession is a change of possession. If a team recovers a fumble, they have possession.

As saints fan found in the rule book. If you recover an onside kick to open counts as the teams posession. Receiving a kick is chance at posession.
If the kicking team recovers they can win with a fg
