If you don't win the toss, you cannot decide to go 1st or 2nd. So any advantage is with the team who wins the toss.

Now if you said, unfair advantage to the team who receives 1st, I still would not agree with you.

obviously the team that wins has the bigger advantage

but there is an advantage for the other team to know that they only have to kick a FG to win or tie

the original team has to score a TD or they give up the advantage given to them by the coin toss

Oooooo just had a thought. You can't win on a FG but you can on a safety!
I am the team receiving the kick. Under CantonLegend mode, I am scared to get a FG. I go for it on 4th down, fail, BUT leave the ball in the opponents 10. ...... Under pressure......... (singing David Bowie here)

Sounds like a WWE rule. Not a rule for a real sporting event. Maybe one of the QBs can get hit with a chair before the OT kickoff.
