    NFL: Titans/Oilers you will never win a Super Bowl, EVER.

    Titans/Oilers: Ok sounds good.

    Way too many variables and people involved in the NFL for every game to be rigged. A ref taking money here and there to favor a certain team, maybe. But, even that can't guarantee a win unless EVERYONE was involved.

    FTR, I think this is all BS too, but I'm playing Devil's Advocate.

    Like Mitch just said, it certainly couldnt be the entire league or season. I'm not even sure that there's even a claim of guaranteed wins. Still I wouldn't rule out some ref-influencing. So the Lions were up by two scores?...so what? That's all the more reason to step in and influen e the game. "Let them play...until the wrong side starts winning.."

    I think it's fixed to an extent! They give the team they want to win every opportunity to do so. Plus you can't tell me a kicker or punter who gets paid hardly anything never gets offers to blow kicks and punts.

    The biggest sign that it's fixed is after every game they say thanks for watching this NFL PRESENTATION ! It's like they're slapping us in the face and laughing!

    I watch a ton of football every season and even a lot in the offseason, and I dont see anything favoring any one franchise. Sure over the years its been Pittsburgh, Green Bay, and New England mostly winning, but 28 different franchises have appeared in the Super Bowl including us. And Green Bay not so long ago (2012) was screwed in multiple games by the refs.

    Now if you want to tell us NFL referees have some influence in the outcome of games Ill agree to that to a degree, but the NFL isn't "fixed".

    Chemtrails - not a chance
    League-wide NFL conspiracy - not a chance.

    Isolated incidents including a player taking some cash to run a bad route or a ref taking some cash to make a bad call. Yeah, it's probably happened at some point.

    Ravens ownership playing dumb about the Ray Rice video. Most likely happened..

    Room 237? who knows....

    People who believe all pro sports are fixed and various conspiracy theories are no different than people who believed in magic and voodoo 150 years ago. Cut from the same cloth. Don't be that guy.
    My point exactly. Don't be that guy.

    I would never go as far to say that an officiating crew would completely engineer calling an entire game to be absolutely certain a specific team won, but come on, we've all seen them let things slide for league darlings when they have the chance and know they can get away with it. Hits on QBs on teams like ours not raising an eyebrow when they would be an ejection if done on a Manning or Brady would be a commonly recurring example.
