What WIll the Team That Wins the Coin Toss Do?
The Chiefs will call the toss and as they look to three-peat, they will also look to three-peat being on the right side of the Super Bowl coin flip. What is interesting – and this does not impact the result of the wager – is what KC or Philly do depending on what happens.
A team that winds up with the decision after the Super Bowl coin toss or that of any NFL game has decisions to make. Will they want to receive the football? Will they defer? Deferring means to pass up the choice until the second half. That is often done by NFL teams so they can get the ball at the start of the second half.
Announcers in practically every game have beaten to a pulp the concept of doubling up and that is a reason to defer if you wind up with the choice after the coin flip. What “doubling up” means is if said team can score on the final drive of the first half and then score on the opening drive after the break they have a chance to put up points on two possessions without the other team having the football.
So, as you can see there is a lot more to the coin toss than the -105 that rides on heads or tails for people who place wagers on the flip. There is a lot of decision-making that the Chiefs and Eagles have to think about before they take the field for the game. Do you want to set yourself up for the third quarter or do you want to avoid the possibility of being down by a field goal or touchdown before your offense has a chance to touch the football?
It’s all in the game and the Super Bowl and LIX have become more than one through time. There are plenty of ways to bet on the contest and for football purposes it all starts with the toss of a coin.
