Based on numbers, NFL OT games were won by team receiving opening kickoff in OT 54.0% of the time vs. college teams playing defense first in OT winning 54.9% of the time.

So while there is not really much difference in the numbers, the new NFL OT rules actually are closer to having 50/50 results than the current college rules.





This may be the result of college FG kickers vs NFL kickers. *
