The most interesting rule to watch might be the OT rule. Making both teams get a possession if you only get a FG has seemingly increased ties. You'd think shortening OT would make it even worse.
You could also get a situation where one team goes on a 7+ minute drive and kicks a FG. Almost puts the other team in a 2 minute drill situation from the start. Is that fair? You definitely want the ball first and the ability to milk the clock.
