Teams are not encouraged to be balanced. They are encouraged to be dominant in one direction or another. A possession for each side would make sure that teams strength at least has a shot in the game.

They have the worst overtime rules of any sport.

I think it should be each team gets one possession, then sudden death after that.

Very interesting ...... and if the rules were changed that way, it would actually encourage teams that won the coin-toss to kick away first rather than receive. The team that kicks away first would know what they needed after the opposing team's possession. If they gave up a touchdown, then they would obviously be in 4-down territory for their entire first possession. On the other hand, the team that received the ball first would have harder decisions to make (like whether or not to go for it on 4th-and-short.)
