So if the Raiders are favored by the NFL for the multitude of reasons already stated, why are they so heavily penalized?

What is the NFL up to here? Why are they working so diligently against them?

Clearly, we're not seeing the bigger picture here.

No one else finds this odd?

That the LV, SF and Dallas market teams are so heavily penalized?

Let me take a stab at this...

"You see, these penalties typically happen in low leverage spots. It allows NFL officials to then make calls in favor for these teams when it swings the win probability highest in their direction. When average joes then look at the stat sheet at the end, things appear equitable, heck, things appear like they were tilted against the big market teams, but when you look at which calls were most important to the win probability of the game, the big market teams benefit most when the fix is in. Watching games like this requires an enlightened, deeper understanding that the distorted reality presented to us on the gridiron is a tightly controlled kayfabe meant for the viewer's entertainment. Notice at the end of the games it says "entertainment broadcast" and not a sporting event. That slight, subtle, nuanced white noise that the viewer misses after the catharsis of the game, really shows itself for what it is in plain sight."
