We can argue about motive all day when it comes to the one-sided officiating. It doesn't really matter to me. It ruins the game all the same. It's way more nefarious if it's in any way rigged of course.
One thing has become plainly obvious. The refs sometimes steer games to keep them close and to set up a dramatic ending. Especially if it's a marquee game. They don't want a 28-0 game in the first half. They want people on the edge of their seat for the entire game. It's all about people seeing those commercials. Sometimes blowouts in big games do happen and there just isn't much the refs can do about it. They're probably instructed to "do what they can when/if they can". I don't know.
