Here's a video where Watson talks about the play.
I don't think any single angle gives definitive proof, but when you look at the multiple angles, it had to have been a touchback. When you see where the ball comes out of his hand and the direction it travelled, it went through the endzone.
This play bothered me right up until Malcolm Butler's interception.
Here's a quote from Watson about the play (not in that video).

MIT professors have reportedly proved that Champ Bailey's fumble against the Patriots in the AFC playoffs was a touchback.
"I've talked to guys who have talked to physics professors at Harvard and MIT and they've done studies on the play -- about the projection of the ball and everything -- and said there is no way it couldn't have gone through the end zone," Watson said about the play. "But if I was in the same spot, I would have made the same call."
