We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

In reply to: sparman 's message, "Re: YouTube Video on Math Behind Going For Two When Down 14" on 23:44:54 10/24/24 Thu
 To answer your question, sparman, in the NFL, two-point conversions are attempted from the two-yard line and 47.5% have been successful in "recent" seasons. In college football, conversions are attempted from the three-yard line and 47.9% are successful.

Obviously, this varies dramatically by team and by game situation. If I think that I have the better team, I'm much more willing to take my chances in overtime. As I've said before, if I am Yale with Vargas or Princeton with Lovett, I would go for two almost any time that I was ahead.
