Should be sudden death
Touchdown only or safety wins.

No FG's

Then draws would come in to play too.

Bookies would win a ton in any draw.

How do you figure? They'd have to refund all ML tickets instead of collecting their usual 10%.

Oh and they're called ties in American football.

Two alternatives to the current OT rules:

a. First to 4 points win (2 FGs/safeties or 1 TD) to eliminate winning sudden death by only kicking a FG.

b. Auction off field position and revert back to old sudden death rule. So how does the auction work? We start at the 35, and the teams "bid" for possession by taking the ball as close to their goal line as possible. Bidding ends when a team bows out of the bidding process or one team bids their own 1 yard line. Any method of scoring wins the game.
