Nope - take the 80% shot at first down, then you have four shots at endzone


Let's say there is an 80% chance of getting the first if you run a short yardage play, and that there is a 20% chance of completing that long pass in the endzone. By throwing on fourth, you have a 20% chance of winning the game. By going for the first down, you have an 80% x (whatever odds you get by four 20% chances).

Rough math but you get the idea.
