I don’t believe games are fixed but I certainly believe that they are influenced by officiating. I don’t think officials are told to favor one team over another but I definitely believe that they call games a certain way, given the appropriate situation, to ensure they’re as close as possible.
For instance, today…big time game. A blowout looked to be on the horizon. Then Pringle’s return was called back. On a play that happens all the time. I don’t think that’s coincidence.
A few years ago we were about to destroy Houston. This was when they were trying to hype up the Mahomes/Watson thing. We were getting ready to go up 17 or something when a PI call against Houston was mysteriously erased by a call from “upstairs.” The call was made, marked off, then changed by the hand of God with no explanation. Next thing I know we turn the ball over and Houston is right back in it.
