Well, now it depends on by how much I am winning the game by. If I was like New England who can win a game by 30 points, then heck, I'd go for the scoring. Why not try to beat a record win? I might even consider just re-enacting the college game where Trinity University scored a touchdown by throwing something like 5 backwards laterals, just to give the fans something to talk about. If I was far enough ahead of the other team and didn't need to worry about the ball being intercepted, then I'd try and score some extra touchdowns and have some fun. However if it was a close call, I'd run the ball and waste the clock as much as possible. It's a conservative way to play. I know many times when I have watched my Dallas boys play, all I kept thinking was “OK guys, there is just 3 minutes left. Hold on to that ball, now is not the time to try and score. Just run down the clock and let this game be over right now!!!"

Pilar, I've listened to the Playmate Hour since day 1, you could probably count the ones I missed on 1 hand,. That said, I think no matter what, you would do the classy thing and run out the clock. Though the question is kind of vague. If you're up 8 or less you keep playing to win.
