Super Bowl Coin Toss: History, Odds, and the Winner of the Toss

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 what team

The coin toss is one of the most closely watched events of the Super Bowl. Fans wonder if it will land on heads or tails and 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.

Coin Toss Odds

You can bet on the coin toss at sites like DraftKings and it’s a double-your-money bet. The odds are listed at +100 for either side on DK Sportsbook.

This is good for bettors because there isn’t any juice going to the sportsbook. It’s a 50-50 chance and if you win, you double your money. Sometimes, a sportsbook might have the odds at -110 which means you would have to bet $110 to win $100 instead of a +100 where you bet $100 to win $100.

Coin Toss History: Heads vs Tails

Tails has been slightly more common in the history of the Super Bowl. In 58 contests, the coin has landed on tails 30 times compared to 28 for heads. Last year, the coin toss landed on heads and the Chiefs won the toss. They also won the game 25-22 in overtime over the 49ers.

The last time the Chiefs and Eagles met in the Super Bowl, the coin landed on tails and the Chiefs won the toss. The Chiefs went on to win Super Bowl LVII 38-35.

Winning the Coin Toss and the Game

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 57 and Super Bowl 58. This means the loser of the coin toss is 33-25 in Super Bowl history.

Before last season, you had to go back to Super Bowl 48 for a team that won the toss to win the game. That year, the Seahawks won the toss and went on to beat the Denver Broncos 43-8.
