Go for 2 now, you'll likely have to eventually. You'll know the outcome sooner rather than later and have time to restrategize.

@PFF_NateJahnke

Coaches care more about the game looking close for as long as possible rather than having the best chance to win

Saw some Qs earlier in the season about how early is too early to go for 2. Have you done any work on that?

That's dumb, if you miss it there you're down nine points, 2 scores. Never go for 2 unless you're forced to

You're reasoning against innate cognitive bias. Never going to convince anyone not pre-inclined to be receptive.
