Huh? If you have 2nd possession you know exactly how many points you need to win. And they have the first opportunity to seal the game with the ball in their hands [assuming the other team's drive doesn't end with a 2-point conversion.]
Plus the 2nd team knows if they have all four downs available. It's a big advantage to go 2nd.
