Do you think that the NFL cares about entertaining the hardcore gambler who will bet on coin tosses and halftime spreads? Or do they care about entertaining the housewife who has 3 kids and will support her team till she is 78yo? All the while buying tickets and merchandise?

The gambler.
Why do they maintain "official injury reports"? Why did they stagger the late game starts on Sundays? Why do they do play games on thursday nights?
Football became popular via gambling, not housewives or NFL cares promotions. Same reason college football is now so popular, not because all of a sudden Boise State became such a compelling story.
