Spike the ball when you get a 1st down at the 50 w/ no timeouts left and there's 40 second left. You're trying to save time by sacrificing 1 down. The down can be replace by getting another 1st down. The 15 seconds that run off for getting set for the next play can not be replaced.

Also,
If you're up 3 with 2 minutes to go and your opponent has no Time out left....and it's 4 and 1 at the opponent's 30, don't kick the FG. Sure you may be up 6 and force the other team to "score a TD to beat you". It's the common thing that people say and repeat. But let's break it down.
By choosing to go up 6, you're just taking a tie out of the equation. You're forcing your opponent to go TD or bust.
By go for it you can win by:
1. Making the 1st down and have the QB kneel
2. Have your defense stop them(Your defense still have to stop them up 6 anyway)
3. If the opponent kick a FG, you can still win in OT.
You so have multiple ways of winning. Whereas if you kick the FG, you're only way to win is a defensive stop.

The 1st option doesn't work anymore. Coaches now have to declare to the ref whether they are going for 2 or kicking the XP.
