I've wondered about that too. I understand the logic of going for 2 if you see something about the defensive alignment that makes you think you will convert it. If successful, it also makes it seem like you are up by more than one TD. Can be crucial (both good and bad) in a close game. But seems a little too much like gambling to me - with the caveat that I obviously haven't scouted the other team and don't know the actual intent.
