Individually, the offensive player has the advantage on a slippery field. He knows where he wants to go and therefore can prepare better for sharp or sudden direction changes. The defender must react, and is therefore more likely to try to cut aggressively, and therefore slip. However, this advantage is at least partially negated by the slick ball and conditions making things tougher for the QB to throw accurately, and for the runner to cut effectively as he tries to react the the shifting holes in the running game. Also on sloppy fields, the defense may either give extra cushion and play softer zones, OR may do the opposite, jamming the receiver at the line to make it harder for him to leverage his advantage. It's also more difficult for the quarterback to set and throw, making a good pass harder to throw, and therefore helps the defensive backs.
