Super Bowl LVIII coin toss betting odds released

There’s very little intrigue in whether or not a coin will land with heads or tails up. Flip a coin enough and the average results will be 50-50. And yet, for Super Bowl LVIII, it’s one of the most bet-on aspects of the game. Las Vegas oddsmakers released the odds for this year’s coin toss, adding to the multitude of prop bets like the color of the Gatorade shower or the length of the national anthem.

Leading up to Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, the coin toss in the last 10 Super Bowl games has landed on tails seven times. Tails has come up 30 times since the first Super Bowl in 1967, edging out heads by three.

In last year’s Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs won the toss by calling tails, then won the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, you have to go all the way back to Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 for the last time a coin toss winner actually won the game. Over the previous eight seasons, the coin toss winners all lost the big game.

The Kansas City Chiefs advanced to the Super Bowl by winning the AFC title with a thrilling 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The game was a defensive struggle on a rainy day in Baltimore, but the experience of the Chiefs paid off in a big way. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes did what he had to do and was ready to roll from the start.

Mahomes finished the AFC Championship Game 30-of-39 passing for 241 yards and a touchdown. His main target was veteran tight end Travis Kelce, who caught 11 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. During the game, Kelce broke Jerry Rice‘s old NFL playoff record for most postseason receptions.

The 49ers, meanwhile, advanced with an NFC Championship Game comeback against the Detroit Lions. Detroit led 24-7 at halftime but was limited to just one late fourth-quarter touchdown in the second half as San Francisco stormed back.

The 49ers were powered by running back Christian McCaffrey, who ran 20 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns and also caught four passes for 42 yards in the game. Quarterback Brock Purdy finished 20-of-31 passing for 267 yards and a touchdown with one interception.
