2017 Super Bowl Coin Toss Results
Did you miss it? The most dramatic moment in sports this week? You mean to tell me you missed the coin toss at the NFL Combine that would determine if the Philadelphia Eagles or the Indianapolis Colts would own the 14th pick in the upcoming draft?
Tails has come up 29 times in the Super Bowl coin toss, with 25 times for heads. Bettors can also bet on if heads or tails will be the call by the assigned captain (77.8% of bets are on heads). As we all know, Super Bowl coin toss history is completely random as there is virtually a 50/50 chance of the coin landing on heads or tails. However, according to Vince Bohbot (executive vice president at The Highland Mint in Florida, where the Super Bowl coin is made), the weight of each side of the coin can vary ever so slightly depending on the coin’s design.
Let’s catch you up: Because both teams finished last season with 8-8 records and the same strength of schedule (.492), a coin toss would be necessary to determine the order of the 14th and 15th overall selections in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Seriously, this was all the rage on Friday morning. There were photos of the coin, which had the Minnesota Vikings logo on it because they traded their first rounder to the Eagles for Sam Bradford:
There was this funny tweet from the Eagles about the advice they were getting on calling heads or tails:
Fans — yes, fans! — even showed up to watch the event:
One intrepid reporter even livestreamed the toss, and so did the Eagles:
And here’s the huge nail-biting moment. Eagles VP Howie Roseman was so excited after the coin came up Vikings. The crowd? Not so much:
The reaction was so beautiful. Try not to get too emotional:
And then … it was over.

The coin toss is one of the most popular, if not the most popular Super Bowl Prop bets. So, we decided to compile the data from Super Bowl 1 to the most recent 2021 Super Bowl, to see if heads or tails is more likely to appear. Now for the shocking results........ It's pretty much a 'coin flip'. For the first 55 Super Bowls the flip has landed on tails 29 times and heads 26 times. Heads did have an impressive run of 5 years in a row from 2009-2013. Below you will find a table that lists the coin flip results, including which team won and lost the coin flip for all Super Bowls.
