ago and even with the 50% chance of losing in OT, the results were that it still made sense to kick the FG here and play for OT because the overwhelming odds played out that the score ever even got tied. It was done by the same group that did the analysis that said NFL coaches should never punt outside of their own 30 and should never kick FGs unless there was less than 4 minutes left in the game. Legit methodology used, and the take home was that even if that's the case it would never be adopted because coaches are creatures of habit and fans are creatures of familiarity so doing something so far out of the norm would be result in upriar.
