Default Expected Value in Football

I once saw a guy on a football pregame show talking about punting vs. going for it on 4th down. He said it was a better move to go for it in most situations. I didn't see the whole segment and was in a waiting room, but it seemed pretty interesting.

The guy was a Ph.D. economist.


Has anybody else heard of similar research?
I always felt football coaches were too conservative.
