In a rigged league where games are predetermined for one reason or another, it's suffice to say "they" have already determined the playoff contenders, winners, and eventual SB winner. Lets see who can crack the code, and lets see who's rigged theory (because there is no concensus as to the who/why) bares evidence.

In terms of yardage, your top 3 in order are Raiders, Cowboys, 49ers.
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.

Because this narrative of "yeah, so there was a hold on the kickoff return, bUt YoU cAn CaLl A hOlD oN eVeRy PlAy!" is reeruned.... and then later when receiver's helmet gets turned 90 degrees, but the fix is in!

I liked the statement about biases from the refs. Maybe subconsciously, they are not showing equality.
I will end that there

I was curious about that the other day and asked that question in terms of what it means to the NFL, since TV contracts are for like 10 years or whatever... the whole Vegas betting lines and making money for rich people at least makes more sense if they were to steer games.

Anyone have any access to data about teams that play a high % of press coverage having more penalties called on the DBs? It would make sense that if your DBs are more aggressive/bump and run that you are likely to be called for contact after 5 yards, hands to the face, etc.

However, anyone who doesn't see a bias after watching the Saints lose to the Rams, or the Chiefs to the Pats in 2018, to create a Pats vs. Rams Superbowl is intellectually blind.

The NFL just agreed to a deal to host Thursday Night Football exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. The deal will run for 11 seasons and is worth $1 billion - with a "B"
Ratings matter a whole hell of a lot when it's time to negotiate those billion-dollar deals. The NFL's revenue is directly correlated to ratings. Just because deals are negotiated far in advance doesn't make them less meaningful. It just means they matter more when it's time to negotiate new deals. |

I'm not really sure who this thread is supposed to be trolling. There are maybe 2-3 people that I've seen on the entire board that think the whole thing is rigged WWE style, so I'm not sure what the point is of lumping us all together. It's exactly like you said, if you don't think certain games are steered via officiating, you're just incredibly naive. I don't know how anyone could have watched those games you mentioned and not figured it out after that, if they hadn't already. |

Again, for the billionth time, "Rigged" theories range wildly. I can't have a thread for just one specific rigged theory just because that happens to be the one you subscribe to. The who, why and to what extent varies. The end result, no matter what the who, why and extent may be, is that outcomes are predetermined.
