Super Bowl LVIII coin toss winner betting odds released

Las Vegas oddsmakers have set the lines for one of the most-bet props in Super Bowl history – the Super Bowl LVIII coin toss. The coin toss, which of course has equal odds, determines which team gets to decide between offense and defense to start the game.

During Super Bowl LIV, which was the last Super Bowl matchup between the 49ers and the Chiefs, San Francisco won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. The Chiefs took the ball and ultimately, the Lombardi Trophy after a 31-20 battle. In Super Bowl history, the NFC team has won 36 of the coin tosses.

In last year’s Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs won the toss, 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 McCaffery, 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.
