Can we get an official thread for whom the NFL/Vegas is rigging the games?

I've seen some conflicting narratives with a mass psychosis aimed at calling the NFL rigged, so can we get everything on the table now, so that hindsight bias can't take over the conversation and confirm allegations that were never actually made prior to the games?

The KC game played out how almost everyone expected. Hindsight wasn't needed.

It’s the Chiefs ultimately.

Ravens over Bills for the Lamar narrative.

Rams over Eagles for the fires and Rams being the NFL golden franchise.

Chiefs over Ravens.

Commies over Rams as a frick you to Snyder and a reward for the sale.

Chiefs over Commies with a Travie on field proposal.

Lot of people take sports results as a divine result in a weird way, so better to blame evil scheming human conspiring plotters than come to terms that your football god hates you.

It really way odd that KC took that safety on purpose with 20 seconds or so left. Normally you would only do that if the game is one possession and you can bleed out the clock. But KC was up 11, took that safety and left 15 seconds on the clock.

This time of year has proven to be always entertaining with all the Jerry Fletchers that come out of the woodwork when they get teed off about certain teams winning.

I don’t think most people think they outright rig the outcomes. Most probably believe that they do favor certain. Teams and give them significant help to try and get them a better shot to win.

Serious question, why would the NFL rig it for the Chiefs when anyone with a brain can tell you the entire country has Chiefs fatigue? Wouldn’t it be better for the NFL’s bottom line if the Chiefs missed the Super Bowl this year? Does Kelce dating Taylor Swift really override all that?

Lots of people grudge watch hoping for the “dynasty” teams to lose. It’s not some secret. It’s easier in football because it’s one game.

In other sports you are watching the whole series, but will see a spike in a potential elimination game.

The NFL is garbage for a lot of reasons and this type of stuff is one of them.

I’m not saying they’re rigging anything. But a universally hated team/team to root against is likely easier to achieve than one everyone likes. Especially when you build the swifties into the viewership.

I don't think they are outright "rigged" but with sports that have fouls that could be subjectively called or not, like basketball and football, there is definitely a possibility that certain teams or players get favorable calls or non-calls that could give them an edge. Might be intentional or subconscious, but it isn't totally far fetched that favoritism could influence calls.
