2021 Super Bowl prop bets: Coin toss outcome
- Heads -105
- Tails -105
NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more.
In Super Bowl history, the results have been almost split. Tails has been the result 29 times, with heads coming up the other 25 times. Tails has been the result in six of the last seven years since Super Bowl XLVIII.
I like TAILS to continue that hot streak, because after all, tails never fails.

2021 Super Bowl prop bets: Which team will win the coin toss?
- Chiefs -105
- Buccaneers -105
As the road team, the Chiefs will call the toss Sunday. In their eight away games this season, the Chiefs were 4-4 calling the toss. When they won the flip, they chose to defer all four times.
As for the Buccaneers, they won the toss four times in their four home games when the other team called the flip. In three of those wins, they deferred, opting to receive in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons.
It's a toss-up (pun intended), but I'm leaning CHIEFS (-105) here to win the toss and defer.

2021 Super Bowl prop bets: What will be the decision of the coin toss winner?
- Receive opening kickoff +375
- Defer option to second half -500
DEFER (-500) is the wise choice here. Both the Chiefs and Buccaneers prefer to get the ball in the second half. The Chiefs deferred in all four of their coin toss wins as the road team this season, and the Buccaneers deferred in three of their four choices at home.

- Heads -110

The Chiefs will be the ones calling the toss as the road team. It's anyone's guess what they will call at midfield, but I'll lean TAILS (-110) here.
