How is this scenario anything like blackjack? The dealer shows one card first and then the player plays their hand. Is this dynamic somehow represented on the football field? Even if it somehow is, Blackjack is literally the closest game to even odds you find in a casino, and the casino is favored because the player loses when both the player and casino busts. Is there some correlation to OT rules here?
I see no logical correlation at all with your assertion that taking the ball first is dumb. There are CLEARLY advantages to either decision, as mentioned in my post which you quoted.
