Regrettably my eyes show me that the NFL is biased toward the most profitable outcomes and the league is willing to promote those outcomes through selective officiating. I also see that they'll allow just enough lesser-profitable outcomes to provide for an argument that says they aren't biased at all.
But I agree, the best way for a small market team to perhaps get the nod is to seek-out and invest in an allstar QB, it seems to give them something in return. Green Bay for example.
As "rigged" as WWE? No, but the missed calls suggest NFL officials can turn their backs (eyes) to penalties just like the WWE. And it's not always the number of calls they make per team (even if they hide behind that number), often times it's the timing of the call.
Again, subtly influencing the game. One of the main reasons the officials are protected from at all cost once they trot off the field.
