On going for two in the NFL

Enjoy, all you math and stats folks, a freshly published academic paper by a Wharton School MBA student. The linked blog post has a link to the paper if you're really interested.

You might find some of the comments to the blog post interesting as well.

I am curious if you can drop kick an extra point from the 2 yard line. It's not like you have to announce ahead of time you're going to drop kick and I don't think they've modified any rule saying you can't drop kick an extra point from the 2.

I wish CPJ went for 2 every time. I think we would convert 90% of the time.
