FanDuel Coin Toss Odds For Super Bowl LIX On Sunday, February 9

Heads: -104
Tails: -104

Looking back on my time as a young kid, I remember questioning the reason for learning statistics and probability. When it comes to the coin toss, it now makes perfect sense. No matter the past stats, bettors have a split 50/50 percent chance of landing on heads and tails.

With that bettors have equal -104 on FanDuel to either cash out on the Super Bowl coin toss. Before I give my final thoughts and predictions, let's break down the previous Super Bowl coin toss odds and stats.

In 58 Super Bowls, Tails has the upper hand 30 times compared to Heads 28. Give or take, it is truly a gamble. With Tails leading at 52 percent in the Super Bowl era, is it time for heads to make a comeback?

Dusting off the history books, heads ironically had the longest streak of winning five Super Bowls in a row. From Super Bowl XLIII to Super Bowl XLVII, heads won the five game streak. With that, the Ravens, Patriots, Packers, Saints, and Cardinals all won the coin toss in that span.

What's more intriguing is 3/5 of those teams over that five years who won the coin toss, went on to win the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl Coin Toss History Of Tails

When we look at the history of the coin toss, tails had a longest streak of four wins, starting from Super Bowl XLVIII to Super Bowl LI. Most notably in the New England Patriots dynasty era, only one team who won the coin toss went on to win the Lombardy Trophy during this span.

That was the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl victory over the Denver Broncos.

If you're planning on betting on the coin toss, the winner of Super Bowl 58 was heads.

• In fact, heads as won three of the last four Super Bowls.

The most talked about team in the NFL, heads and tails is split evenly over the Chiefs last four Super Bowl appearances. It's important to note, the three years the Chiefs won it all, tails has the upper edge 2-1.

If you didn't know, Sunday's game is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

• While that landed on tails, Kansas City won both the coin toss and Super Bowl.

Among the Eagles four Super Bowl appearances in history, tails has the 3-1 edge over heads. Out of those coin tosses, Philadelphia has won just once. Even in their triumphant Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, New England won the coin toss.

Final Super Bowl LIX Coin Toss Betting Pick & Prediction: Tails (-104 FanDuel)

No matter how you slice it, there's truly a 50/50 chance of cashing out on the coin toss. I do advise to bet responsibly when it comes to fun, exciting novelty props like this. If you are inclined to bet on the coin toss, I would advice placing minimal units on them.

• Overall, I'm giving some love to tails this year for -104 odds. Winning just once in the last four games, it's due. Let's lock in.
