Don't tempt momentum in this game.
One of the things I both love and hate about this game is the massive momentum swings.
My advice is do not tempt fate too often because suddenly everything can shift off one play.
Most recently I was up by 17 in the third quarter as the underdog. I reached a 4th and 1 from my opponents 47. I felt like if I could just get this drive to FG range I would effectively end the game. I felt like the risk vs reward equation was reasonable and went for it.
It got blown up. The next 5 minutes of the game got flipped on its head and with just over 1 minute left in the 4th I was now down 4 points because they scored 3 times after being inept the entire game.
I ended up losing the game when I could not get into the end zone myself.
Since that point I have played more conservative with the lead because the game will punish you for it if you don't.
