Last season, Matthew Slater of the New England Patriots called heads on the Super Bowl 53 coin flip. Tails was the outcome for the fifth time in six games. But prior to that, heads was riding a five-game win streak.
Play the odds of probability here. Heads is due for a win.
Pick: Heads (-105)
Which Way Will It Go?
Last year, the Rams won the toss but the Patriots won the game. In fact, history shows us that it’s better to start the Super Bowl with a loss.

Losers of the coin toss have won 29 of 53 Super Bowls. The coin toss loser is riding a five-game win streak heading into Sunday.
Pick: No (-105)
Will Coin Toss Winner Take It or Leave It?
When it comes to deferments, the Kansas City Chiefs get more of them than Donald Trump did from the draft board during the Vietnam War.
Last season, the Chiefs won the coin toss prior to 11 regular-season games, an NFL high. All 11 times, they deferred to the second half. They also opted to defer after winning the toss prior to the 2019 AFC Championship Game against the Tennessee Titans.

In last year’s Super Bowl, the Rams opted to defer after winning the toss.
It’s a move that makes sense. Teams figure to be nervous to start such a big game. Why not give the other club’s offense the ball to start and see if they don’t commit a major faux pas right off the bat?
The Chiefs are 0-2 in Super Bowl coin flips. The 49ers are 4-2.

Demi Prefers the Stand
Every time Lovato has sung the anthem outdoors at a major sporting event, she’s gone with a microphone stand.
Pick: Yes (-160)
Expect Fireworks
Fireworks will most certainly detonate right after Lovato sings “bombs bursting in air.” It’s the Super Bowl after all. They’ll blow it up big.
Pick: Yes (+175)
Face Time
Let me rattle off a few quick picks for who will be shown first:
- Patrick Mahomes (-150): Mahomes is the reigning NFL MVP. His team is favored to win. He’ll get the first close up.
- Travis Kelce (-120): The camera loves Kelce. He’s the NFL’s new Gronk
- Kyle Shanahan (+120): The smart money says it’ll be Reid. But the networks have to display balance and impartiality. Take the price on Shanahan.
How Fast Will Demi Do It?
The wonderful factor in terms of Demi Lovato and the Star-Spangled Banner is that past sporting events offer a rich tapestry of examples of her work.
She’s lengthened with age. At a 2009 Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game, Lovato’s rendition lasted 1:52. At Game 5 of the 2011 World Series, she went 1:48.
Lately, though she’s taking her time. Lovato belted out the Star Spangled Banner for 1:59 at Game 4 of the 2015 World Series. She set a personal best of 2:01 at the 2017 Mayweather-McGregor fight.
This is the Super Bowl. She’ll milk it.
Pick: Over 2 Minutes (-230)
When it comes to the final word, Lovato is fairly consistent on this note. She’s held brave for six seconds in each of her last three anthems at sporting events.
Pick: Over 5.5 Seconds (-175)
