NFL conference championship weekend

So you're telling me that in a game where there there were 3 TDs by one team and 2 TDs by the other team just in the fourth quarter there's no advantage to winning the coin flip?

In the days when the scores were lower I could imagine the impact of the coin flip being lower.

But these days, where a lot of the playoff teams score 30 points routinely, I would think the coin flip would have a huge impact. Someone should look at the impact when the (tied) score at the end of regulation was something like 28 or above. (Or even better, a breakdown based on the (tied) score at the end of regulation.)
