- The Tom Brady coin toss trend has the Patriots losing the coin toss five times in eight Super Bowls and winning each time. In the other three Super Bowls, they won the coin toss, but lost the game.

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. Feb 01, 2015 The first quarter of Super Bowl 2015 between New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks got underway at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with Seattle winning the coin toss (tails.
That doesn't mean prop bets have evaporated altogether.
Wagers revolving around the periphery of the game – anthem time over/under being a classic – help us understand why the Super Bowl is more than the NFL's championship game. It's an event. Rooting interests are not limited to the two teams on the field.
Here are some interesting prop bets for Super Bowl 55 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In This Story: Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) – also known as American Football – in the United States. Since 2004, the game has been played on the first Sunday in February. It is the culmination of a regular season that begins in the late summer of the previous year.
The game was created as part of a 1966 merger agreement between the NFL and its rival the American Football League (AFL). The first game was played on January 15, 1967, after both leagues had completed their respective 1966 seasons. After the merger, each league was re-designated as a 'conference', and the game has since been played between the conference champions to determine the NFL's league champion.
Super Bowl Coin Toss Heads
The New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl championship titles with six each. The Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances with 11. The National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC) are tied with 27 Super Bowl wins each.
The Super Bowl is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the Super Bowl has frequently been the most-watched American television broadcast of the year; the seven most-watched broadcasts in American television history are Super Bowls.
In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX became the most-watched American television program in history with an audience of 114.4 million viewers, the fifth time in six years that the game had set a record. The Super Bowl is also among the most-watched sporting events in the world, and is second only to the UEFA Champions League (soccer) final as the most watched annual sporting event worldwide.
Commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year because of the high viewership, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. Watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians have performed during the event's pre-game and halftime ceremonies.
