The beauty of the NFL being branded as "Sports Entertainment" the only other place you find that label, the WWE. Not baseball, not basketball, not hockey. It makes business sense to fix games, for the purpose of gambling, and keeping the money flowing in as wanted.
I don't believe it is a top to bottom thing, but as others have said, all it takes is the refs being told who needs to have the edge and flags being thrown to help that.
Think back to the start of this season. The Jaguars almost knocked off the Packers.....that would be terrible for business, so the league swallows the pill and has to apologize after the fact for 17 missed calls. Look at the rematch between Cincy and steelers. The holding that was ignored to make sure the "good clean hard nosed team" beat up the leagues' "bad guys".
Just need to get Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross to call a game, good old "slobber-knocker"
