"One of the most paid attention to events of the Super Bowl is the coin toss. Millions of fans wonder if it will land on heads or tails, along with which team will win the toss. Let's look at the history of the Super Bowl coin toss, the odds, and how the winner of the coin toss fares in the biggest game of the year."
"Tails has been slightly more common in the history of the Super Bowl. In 59 contests, the coin has landed on tails 31 times compared to 28 for heads. Last year, the coin toss landed on tails, and the Chiefs won the toss. They went on to lose 40-22 to the Eagles. In Super Bowl LVIII, the Chiefs also won the toss as it landed on heads. The Chiefs went on to win the game 25-22 in OT."
"Now, does winning the coin toss correlate to winning the game? In the history of the Super Bowl, the team that wins the coin toss has won 25 times, including the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII and LVIII. This means the loser of the coin toss is 34-25 in Super Bowl history. Last season, the Eagles lost the coin toss when it fell on tails. Philadelphia went on to dominate the game with a 40-22 win."
Coin toss outcomes across 59 Super Bowls show tails 31 times and heads 28 times. Teams that won the coin toss have recorded 25 victories and 34 losses in Super Bowl history. Recent examples include the Chiefs winning the toss in Super Bowls LVII and LVIII, with a loss in LVII and a win in LVIII. The Eagles lost the toss last season yet won Super Bowl LIX by 40-22. Sportsbooks such as DraftKings offer coin-toss wagers, often with -103 odds on both sides rather than true +100 lines. Super Bowl LX kicks off at 6:30 pm ET on NBC at Levi's Stadium.
