To explain, the Super Bowl is the classic precisely efficient line. Tons of money in the pool, no inside information, every minute detail priced into the line.
It also hapoens to be the last pro football game of the year, and the biggest, so it is irresistible to gambling addicts.
So the basic received wisdom of the bookmaking industry is that anyone who can pass the Super Bowl could be dangerously good and anyone who bets it doesn't understand efficient pools and is a fish.

Another shining example of your inability to grasp the inner nuances of serious gambling. The Super Bowl line is even MORE exploitable than the other NFL lines...for the very reason that you state above. There is WAY more uninformed money wagered on the Super Bowl than there is on any other single game in existence...and the bookmaker's job is to structure the line in a way which accommodates the avalanche of "heart-felt" opinions of the masses, which often defy the logic associated with the realities of the game. Yes, there won't be a solid wager to be found in most Super Bowls...but to categorically state that "anyone who bets the Super Bowl is a loser" is to admit your ignorance of these more intricate matters...which take real knowledge to comprehend.
