Was the Super Bowl coin toss heads or tails?
Super Bowl coin toss odds are on everyone's mind today, and we will answer the question of "was the Super Bowl coin toss heads or tails?" here, as soon as the result is learned.
Update: The Chiefs won the coin toss with tails. Kansas City captains called "tails."
"Heads or tails" is such a classic bet because of its simplicity, and the Super Bowl pre-game pomp and circumstance certainly builds the toss of the coin drama.
Kansas City Chiefs captains will be calling out “heads or tails” at the Caesars Superdome, as K.C. has been designated the visiting team. The NFL rotates the “home” and “away” teams between the AFC and NFC representative each year.
The Chiefs called "tails" two years ago against the Eagles when they were the "visiting" team and won the toss. Last year, the 49ers called "tails" but it came up heads and KC won the toss.
"Heads" has been the hot side of the coin in recent years as it has appeared in three of the last four Super Bowls. “Tails” leads the all-time Super Bowl series, though, as it has won 30 times. "Heads" has won 28 times.
The longest streak for "tails" came last decade when it showed up four years in a row from 2014-17. "Heads" went on its biggest streak just prior to that as it appeared five straight years from 2009-13.

The Super Bowl coin toss typically occurs after the Super Bowl national anthem. Kickoff shortly follows the coin toss.
There is so much pre-game hoopla for the Super Bowl that sometimes the coin toss and kickoff can be pushed back few minutes. But, roughly, expect the coin toss to occur around 6:27 p.m. ET today.
