Think games aren't scripted?

I definitely think home calls exist. That Mac Jones fumble is a classic example of a home call. Refs manage the game but I think they also manage the crowd, to an extent. If something is ruled on the field at home, I think there's a passive bias to only change it if it's so obvious your grandmother would understand it was a fumble. Cuz if you overturn a 50/50 call at home, the crowd is going to be pissed and you risk them leaving, not going to future games etc. That's bad for business.

If that fumble occurs in Cincinnati, I think it is overturned.

But that's just a guess. We have no idea what these refs are telling each other or considering when they make the decisions they make.

Your thought that refs are intentionally rigging games borders on conspiracy theory though. You would need to have actual evidence of this, not just a gut feeling, in order for anyone to believe you.
