It's amazing when a team takes the opening kickoff and goes down to score and it's 7-0. The other team is playing catch-up all game.
However it also happens often that they go 3 and out and now the other team has good field position and the chance to double dip.
I would almost always defer, unless I was playing a team like Baltimore where getting up on them early could possibly rattle them a bit and force them out of their game.
