Doesn't change the fact that statistically, it's only a 30-odd percent chance. The fact that we've beaten the odds in a relatively small sample size does not mean that the pattern will hold.

I think how good you are at something should be considered in decision making. At the very least, the odds of a first down are better than the odds of a punt inside the ten.

4th and 5 is statistically in the 30s. Punting inside the 10 is much less odds...
