That's not remotely how it works. They only have to pay out one bet for the Super Bowl winners bet. If they provided bets on NOT winning the Super Bowl, they'd have to pay out 31 different bets every year. The odds would be drastically different.
You mean that when you bet the field, IE have 31 out of 32 chances of winning, the odds are better than when you pick the Bears, 1/32.
