I did a google search and found this:
Super Bowl System (32-3-2 ATS)
Here is a system that some have used for the last few years. It did lose last year with Oakland. The Oakland loss was the only loss in the last 19 Super Bowls and is 32-3-2 ATS. Hank Stram had a system that was somewhat like this but this one has been changed to add numbers that can be researched.
Use Regular season stats only. Only 1 team should get points from each category. Stats can be found at different websites. Obviously, New England will get 10 points for winning a Super Bowl in the last 3 years and get another 8 since Carolina has not been in a Super Bowl. (It looks as if the Pats will be a big favorite in this system)
Points
10 If team has won the Super Bowl in last 3 years
8 if an opponent is going to their first Super Bowl
8 to the team that allows fewer defensive rushes
7 give to team with most offensive rushes
7 award the team with best overall record (straight up)
5 to the team with the lowest def. rush average per carry
4 give 4 pts. to the team with the better ATS record
4 to the team that has the superior NET penalty yards
4 to the team with the best NET kick-punt TD returns
3.5 team with the best yds per pass attempt
3.5 to the team that gave up the fewest points
3.5 allowed the fewest rushing TD's
3 award 3 points to the team with the most sacks
2.5 team with the fewest offensive pass attempts
2 team with the best NET punts (total) on the season
1.5 add to the team with the best avg. per off. rush
1 add 1 to the team with the best completion percent
System results:
Here are the system results for the last 19 Super Bowls showing the point totals, spread, difference and actual score.

An 84% chance of predicting the Super Bowl winner?
January 28, 2009
[SIZE=-1]Those of you who have followed my Stat of the Week work on the radio or here via email and the web probably have seen my Super Bowl prediction system. I've eaten some crow the last two years when the system failed. It was especially discouraging two years ago when the system picked my beloved Chicago Bears to win, and the system failed me. I almost gave it up.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]Nevertheless, I'm back. And I learned something last year that I should have known years earlier (see How stupid can I be?). The system I use has twelve indicators, each one taken by itself predicts the Super Bowl winner 55 to 68% of the time. Taken collectively, the indicators have an even better track record. Last year I learned that if a team only has six or seven of the indicators, it's a toss-up. But when a team has eight or more of the twelve indicators, it's golden.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]In the 42 previous years of the Super Bowl, one team has been favored with at least 8 out of the 12 indicators 25 times. In those 25 games, the system has a record of 21-4. That's 84 percent of the time. It's not a big sample size, but when something happens 21 out of 25 times, you like to believe it means something.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]But let's go a couple of steps further.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]There's only been one time in the history of the Super Bowl that a team has gone undefeated in all 12 indicators. Not by coincidence, this also happens to be the only team in the history of football that has gone undefeated for the entire season, the 1972 Miami Dolphins. [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]How about winning 11 of the indicators? Only four teams in Super Bowl history. Including one of the teams that is often brought up in the same breath as the '72 Dolphins, the 1985 Chicago Bears. My 1985 Chicago Bears. The Super Bowl Shuffle. Walter Payton, the greatest football player in the history of the game. The baddest defense of all time. Da Coach. [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]
