"Using their model, Berry and Wood calculate that, for an average kicker, the estimated probability of a successful 40-yard kick in sunny weather is 0.759. The estimated probability under the same conditions for an average kicker who has been iced is 0.659."

So, the .759 takes into account all 40-yard kicks in sunny weather, including when it's 0-0 in the 1st quarter? If so, the comparison is meaningless.
