The Super Bowl is being hosted by Houston this year - I can't imagine it would impact park crowds anywhere in Florida. The Pro Bowl, on the other hand, will take place in Orlando on 1/29. There's a thread about that here.

The one time we were there on Super Bowl Sunday, we were at Epcot. The morning crowd was typical - maybe a tad lighter that normal. By 1, the place was a ghost town. Soarin' was a walk on. It was a perfect day weather wise, and we thoroughly enjoyed the park.

We like going super bowl weekend, but mostly for the chance to possibly see the MVP parade on Monday, and because it is a good time of year to go with lower crowds and (generally)pleasant weather.
I've never noticed impact of the game on park attendance.
We did however stay at Boardwalk one year and there were significant crowds at the ESPN club.

We went Super Bowl weekend in 2009 and it was amazing. I just remember walking on to practically everything. I know the crowd disbursement has changed over the last several years but it was great. For the game we ordered pizza and watched it in room at CSR.

We were at DHS on Super Bowl Sunday this year, and was surprised the place was as crowded as it was, all day. Here's a link to what the wait times were at each park that day. I can only speak to Studios, but it was packed.

I have also heard that Super Bowl Sunday can make for lighter crowds. I would suspect where the Super Bowl is being held and the teams that are playing may make a difference too. I wouldn't worry about it being busier than normal because of it, though.
