Goodell wants Atlanta to happen !!!! You know he does. He will do what he can to take the odds from 60-65%  to  85-90%.

Right now, according to Five Thirty-Eight,  the probability of a Bengals' win is 36%. The probability of a Jags win is 16%. That means(by the multiplication rule) there is a slightly less than 6% chance of a Bengals- Jags AFCCG.

Goodell likely sees those 36% and 16% numbers as too risky party crashing numbers. I think he wants to see those numbers at no more than 15% and 10%(probably both under 10%).  Easily accomplished via a consistent pattern of no-calls.

Who do you think the officials are communicating with via those headsets?  Hmmm.

Being a business, I'm sure the NFL has interests in certain brands being featured.  With that said, if the NFL is really rigged, they are doing a crap job since the Cowboys and Steelers haven't met in the SB in almost 30 years.
