Alright I know math is a big part of pro football, but let's get out of the textbooks and back onto the field. Think about this: when deciding whether to go for the 2 pointer, do you trust your defense? If you trust your defense enough you'd go for 1 and let them get the ball back for you in OT. If not then the call is obvious. That's why you don't see real NFL coaches go for 2 more often; they trust their defense to stop their opponent in OT. Then again there is always going for 1 and then recovering an onside kick. If you accomplish that all you'd need to do is get to within your kicker's field goal range and use up as much clock as you can. Also you have to take their defense into consideration also. Have they been stopping your run game all day or disrupting your passing game and making your QB nervous? All I'm saying is football is more than just percentages and certainly is not a game of chance.
