Interesting study about it:

"he probability that the kicking team recovers the onside kick and wins the game is 30.4%. The probability that the kicking team does not recover and wins the game is 19.1%. Adding those two probabilities up tells us that kicking team has a 49.5% chance of winning if they start overtime with an onside kick."
EDIT: That's obviously a different scenario but still interesting. |
Since the rule change onside kicks are only recovered 6% of the time.
