Big difference between 9 and 10 points, though it is far riskier.
Down by 9 a TD, PAT, and FG is a Win versus a tie if down by 10. The offset is being down by 11 means a TD, 2PAT, and FG are required for a tie.
Most coaches/systems would take the 1 to get down by 10 and then make the decision for 2 on the next TD playing for win or OT/tie...
