(AP Photo/Charlie Riedel) ASSOCIATED PRESSHere’s a safe Super Bowl bet: A lot of the big screen televisions purchased just before the game will be returned to stores soon after the game. Companies that help retailers manage, track and resell returns say they once again expect to see the annual February spike in TV returns that follows the Super Bowl. The 2020 Super Bowl Survey conducted by the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics predicts 193.8 million Americans will watch the Super Bowl on February 2, and they will spend $17.2 billion on Super Bowl parties, food and beverages, including $1.5 billion on televisions purchased specifically for the game. Cleland says it’s a safe bet that TV returns will be up by at least 20% after the Super Bowl.
