Who Calls The Coin Toss In Super Bowl

How do they decide who calls the coin toss in the super bowl

Heads? Tails? Betting on those results may seem the ultimate in a 50-50 proposition, but millions of dollars will be wagered on the outcome when players and officials gather in the center of the field on Feb. 7 for the Super Bowl coin toss. Ready to completely overanalyze a flip of the coin?

We thought so. Below you’ll find the result of every Super Bowl coin toss since Super Bowl I, plus current betting odds and trends to help you decide on heads or tails.

Tails now tie heads for the longest winning streak. The coin has come tails in five of the last seven Super Bowls. In the first Super Bowl, heads were the correct call. Winning the Super Bowl coin toss does not translate to success, however. The team that has won the coin toss has gone on to win the Super Bowl 24 times, posting a.444-win. In the NFL, the road team calls the coin toss and in Super Bowl 55 that’s Kansas City. The team that called the coin toss has been incorrect in each of the last two Super Bowls – following a whopping string of 50 straight correct Super Bowl coin toss calls. Bottom line: Unless you find a sportsbook offering the Super Bowl coin toss at plus-money (which you won’t), this bet is a losing one. However, by shopping for the best coin-toss odds, we can actually close the gap on the amount we’re expected to lose. For example, I’ve seen the Super Bowl coin toss vig ranging anywhere from -101 to -105.

Update: Kansas City called “heads” and they won the toss as it came up “heads.” It is the third time in the past four Super Bowl games that “heads” has won, but “tails” still owns the all-time advantage at 29-26.

Out of the 54 Super Bowls played thus far, just 25 teams have won the coin flip and the game. In fact, there is sizable streak currently going on as each team to win the coin toss the past six years has wound up losing. The last team to win the toss and hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the night was the 2013-14 Seattle Seahawks against the Denver Broncos.
