Football NFL Is Rigged: Wild Card Round

ToxSocks · 01-12-2022, 01:50 PM

So the results are in, you can check how some of our participants did in the week 18 thread here: http://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthrea...341721&page=44

So LV wins out over L.A in the "New Stadium Bowl".

Steelers and Big-Rape get rigged into the tournament at the sacrifice of Taylor, Wentz and the Colts. Baltimore clearly fell out of favor at some point with the NFL and they're out. So lets re-analyze moving forward.

**Note** A mod asked that i keep it all in one thread, but that thread is so far lost in the weeds that it's hard to get proper interaction and stay on topic. Dont be surprised if this thread gets merged.

So, assuming the NFL is rigged, what's your theory on this week's events? What gets rigged, how is it rigged and who is doing the rigging and why?

Patriots vs Bills: Patriots take this one for the East Coast market. This is more than an AFCE WC game, this is a battle of the upper east markets. Lets be real here, Buffalo isn't cared about by anyone outside of Buffalo. NFL isn't going to tune out the entire AFC east coast in the WC round. And BB is the ultimate NFL insider who took one for the team last season. The NFL will look to pay him back this weekend. BB Winning here sets us up for a divisional round matchup against a team with a similar style and coach in Vrabel. Vrabel vs BB will generate huge ratings.

Raiders vs Bengals: Raiders win in the "upset" *chuckles* here. Now we see why they were rigged into the playoffs: To set up a divisional showdown with the Chiefs. Raiders vs Chiefs will generate significant ratings in the playoffs.

Chiefs vs Steelers: The Steelers are merely a pawn here. Their sole existence in the playoffs occurred as a byproduct in order to produce the matchups we have this weekend. Expect some weird Chiefs shenanigans where we purposely turn the ball over and the play calling looks suspect at times. That's to keep it close for the sake of ratings.

AFC Divisional Round:

Chiefs vs Raiders
Titans vs Patriots

You're partly right,to make it fully correct it's also to keep it close for all those homers out there who took KC -12.5 points and can't believe it's not another rout like earlier this season.

**Nzoner** · 01-13-2022, 09:48 AM

FWIW gambler or not I would suggest taking a look at or writing down this weekends spreads and total points and keep track as to how the games play out.I'm not in on the full blown "RIGGED WHO WINS" theory but I have absolutely no doubts that shady stuff affects Vegas odds.

Well now that your predictions are wrong, and the patriots just got embarrassed as a franchise, is this the point when you eat crow or do you just hide back into some dark hole and re-emerge when you find your next opportunity to try to guess right on a few matchups to say “see I was right” “insert nfl is rigged”?

You might want to actually dig into Detoxing’s true thoughts on the rigging stuff, then delete or apologize about this post.

Yep..he made the first thread...the week 18 rigged ..as an attempt to troll me....this was in reaction to my "Is the NFL gaming you" thread from earlier this year.

So he sarcastically used my theories ...but when they came true...he went with it. I knew what he was doing...which was why I said he owed me money.

Hes been trolling me for years on this topic...you morons didnt even recognize it.

I'm still standing....

I told him Karma and hubris would be his downfall...

Clearly i was wrong here. So much for the "bigger market" angle. That clearly mattered not. The #4 New England market got crushed by the #26 Buffalo market. Clearly, market share plays no influence in NFL rigging. At least not at any consistent level.

Welp, so much for the new stadium angle. Another popular "rigged theory" goes down in flames. The new, large Las Vegas market goes down in flames to the #16 Cincy market.

Both "new stadium" and "Market size" theories flame out on this one.

Welp, Steelers won as expected. And the Chiefs DID do some weird shenanigans, such as purposely turning the ball over. But the 2nd quarter on was a blowout. CLEARLY keeping the game close was not in the interest of the NFL or Vegas. Most of the money was on the Chiefs covering the spread, so Vegas loses here too.

Ratings theory and Vegas money line theory both let me down here.

So far, the main rigged theories fell completely flat this WC weekend.

SF vs Dallas: SF takes this one. It'll be a thriller. Jerry Jones has been playing nice for decades now, but his trigger finger is itching for a playoff win. It won't be here, but the lords will make sure it's at least close enough to keep his fan base hooked going into next season. Dallas has to lose this one. The NFL does not want the Rams headed to GB in the Divisional.

Rams vs Cardinals: L.A Market. 'Nuff said. The NFL got exactly what they wanted in this Cali vs AZ west coast showdown.

Buccs vs Philly: Tom Brady. Epstein. Dark magic and hexes. Philly doesn't stand a chance here. I mean, the game may stay close, but they have no real shot at winning this. Best bet of the week.

NFC Divisional Round:
Greenbay vs SF
Buccs vs Rams

I agree with all of it except this one, no way in hell the league puts the officials against "America's team?". The Cowboys will no doubt get the zebras on their side. I think this will be the worst officiated game of the first round and it'll be so bad SF fans will be seething with anger.

I think that's the first time I've ever used the word "seething" in my vocabulary. Did I do it right?

I think seething with anger might be redundant.

I believe seething characterizes intense anger.

I don't have the best hold of the English language either, though. So what the **** do I know?

Cowboys over the 49ers. The rest are correct.

Cowboys @ Packers - Ice Bowl II

Nailed it. As i said, this wasn't about Dallas. It's about L.A. Dallas losing pretty much guarantees L.A wins tonight.

For that reason, and because Burrow and Chase are budding superstars, Cincinnati wins this game.

Patriots @ Bills: The Bills have an exciting offense and are just more fun to watch than the Patirots.The NFL can't have Bill Belichick's Pats only throwing the ball a few times in the playoffs, which is something he's shown a willingness to do this season, and against these very Bills. Buffalo wins this game.

Eagles @ Bucs: Upsets are a key part of the NFL brand, and this one would be huge. The NFL has a soft spot for Philly and its gigantic TV market. Tom Brady goes down and a Cindarella is born.

49ers @ Cowboys: This is a ratings dream for the NFL with two storied franchises from huge TV markets with national fanbases facing off. The NFL has its eye on Mike McCarthy's eventual return to Lambeau Field in a juicy storyline that pits him against his former star QB, Aaron Rodgers. The Cowboys win this game.

Cardinals @ Rams: The Rams are the super team this year and have mortgaged their future in recent trades. Star power rules in the modern NFL, and no one has more than L.A. Arizona doesn't stand a chance against the second-largest TV market in the league.

Steelers @ Chiefs: No one likes watching Ben Roethlisberger, not even Steelers fans. Kansas City wins easily.
