Not really..... I would love it because I want it to. Pitt/ Atl will be a huge failure as far as past ratings....

Both AFC teams are huge draws.

I dont know if the networks have a say so in who goes, but they have a say in something. How many times have we seen a team get blown out in the first half and then they make a game of it in the second half? TV Ratings. That investment has to pay for itself somehow.

There is definitely manipulation or influence in the game. No question about it.

Listen here, MORON. The NFL cares but not that extent. Go drink your shitty beer and take the tin foil hat OFF. This is the GROWN UPS TABLE, and you don't have access

How many have you seen a team get blown out only to remain getting blown out?

You remember the comebacks, which is the reason for bias.

Aaron Rodgers interception was just a conspiracy to get the Cowboys back into the game....

This entire thread is bringing the lolz considering the NFL's biggest cash cow was just eliminated two days ago. Weren't the Cowboys involved in each of the top five most watched NFL games this season?

You keep doing you, Peej

No. Look Im not going to pretend to think there is a league wide conspiracy but I will tell you that some games are fixed. If you dont believe that, then there is nothing more to tell.

A guy went on National TV and said he fixed no less than 30 NFL games. He was never caught and he explained how it was done. To even prove something like this would be impossible unless the player that received millions would come out and say so. That wont happen.

Every sport in the world has been known to be fixed except the NFL. And I am to believe that it never happens? If a college player is busted for throwing a game does that mean that no player will ever throw another game? Use your noggin.

Who?

As for using my noggin, I just want to know how it works. I want to join the ranks. But I'm gonna need more than "some guy said so," "teams getting blown out rebound at halftime" and "it happens in other sports." Use your noggin and convince me.

It is very easy to fix a game. It is hard to keep everyone quiet about it though.


Probably the easiest way to fix a football game is for a DB or WR. As their drops or mistakes aren't as disputed.

DB blow a coverage or "drop an int" WR run the wrong route or "drop" a certain 1st down catch or potential scoring catch/conversion.

This is how it works. In a world where there is no tampering with games there would never be come back wins. In a fair competition the winning team has to lead the entire game. That is the only way it makes sense.

There are people in Iowa who to this day believe Ronnie Harmon was paid to fumble in the Rose Bowl vs UCLA.

That makes sense. Winning teams would never get too comfortable with their lead or change their strategy to play it safe. Losing teams would never make adjustments at halftime.

I'm putting down what you're picking up

You posted a Youtube video by BrandonLamarMusic... Not wasting my time watching that horseshite. You can find someone on Youtube presenting evidence that the world is flat.

Who is the mobster that got on TV and admitted to fixing games?

I am absolutely shocked that the NFL and NHL went into Vegas. As soon as something even remotely concerning a fix comes out in any league, those teams may as well be dead. I have said this before the Raiders and Knights even thought about going to Vegas.
