NFL Is Rigged: Wild Card Round

[ToxSocks]

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?

(7) Steelers at (2) Chiefs: Chiefs Win. Steelers advancing to next round would not be Cinderella, it would just be sad.

NFC

(7) Eagles at (2) Buccaneers: Buccaneers Win. For whatever reason the NFL seems to think people want to watch Tom Brady play football. We should all boycott watching this game to send a message.
(6) 49ers at (3) Cowboys: Cowboys Win. This one was the most difficult, both teams have great markets and plenty of fans. Cowboys are more star-studded though. Bucs/Cowboys will be a ratings bonanza.
(5) Cardinals at (4) Rams: Rams Win. Take this one to the bank. There's only one L.A. team in the tournament and they will be propped up in whatever way is necessary. The only reason they might not win it all is that sooner or later they have to play Tom Brady.

DIVISIONAL ROUND:

AFC
(4) Bengals @ (1) Titans
(3) Bills @ (2) Chiefs

NFC
(4) Rams @ (1) Packers
(3) Cowboys @ (2) Buccaneers

Look at the accuracy of this. Guys, i think we're really starting to close in on the NFL's game.

Only 1 wrong so far.

Man, is it just me or is there a trend emerging?

Just need the Rams to win.

Only missed on the Patriots/Bills game.

He's an irrelevant fraud. Cure's post nailed it.

His angle after the weekend was as expected as him not posting predictions. He's more predictable than the rigged NFL playoffs.

Lol BlackOps you're such a stupid ****.

You should drop a toaster in your bath water and see what happens.

Looking forward to the divisional round thread. Although I was not good in the Wild Card round.

I went all in on the new stadium(Vegas)/Northeast market/Bob Kraft/human trafficking Florida theory(Pats)on Saturday’s games But the NFL tricked me and went with QB/inadvertent whistle/throw Buffalo a bone story.

Sunday, I went with bad economy/adrenochrome shortage (eagles) and the NFL hates JJ(San Fran) and then just took Mahomes on a whim.

2-3.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Look at this guy....you didnt even know the whole thread was a failed troll job by DeTurd.

It has devolved from a week 18 rigged thread into a typical predictions one. A monkey could pick random teams now and get 50%.

Not one person in this entire series of threads predicted the obscure shit I did this regular season...you know it, I know it...and I dont really care.

You guys NEED the NFL to be real...which is OK. It's sport entertainment...and I've come to terms with it. It IS entertaining...like rooting for your favorite comic book hero.

Detox is just some old dude on the internet with anger/control issues.

He's only following me around to make himself feels better...

The NFL does not want the Rams headed to GB in the Divisional.

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

Definite black magic voodoo pussy work. [chuckles] Nailed it. God im good.

You just fell on your face, .....how's the poor house treating you? If you had just used a dartboard...you probably would have had better results. Piece of work ..you are. Introspection just inst your "thing"....obviously. You hid for a good 48 hours until you found the internet courage to show up...and I dont blame you.

Your ineptness in judging football outcomes.. the football gods should strike you down with lightening...and perma-ban you from ever making troll-rigged threads in the future.
