The visiting team

They can choose to either receive the kick off or which side to defend

Both teams got to have the “opportunity-to-possess,” The only exception is if the offensive team scores a touchdown or the defensive team scores a safety on their initial possession in overtime, then the game is over. If a touchdown is not scored on the receiving teams opening drive, or if they score only a field goal, then the other team is given an opportunity to possess the ball by either a punt, a kick, or by taking over on downs from the receiving team. The defensive team could also gain possession by an interception or fumble.
