When the other team is better than you, giving them at worst a 50/50 chance to get possession to prove they're better is just dumb.

this would be akin to the New York Giants punting the ball on 1st down vs the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Please prove yourselves better than us, take the ball.

Makes no sense to me.
