Yeah, I'm sure the Packer fans are mad about getting 16 fouls helping them against tiniest-market-in-the-league Jax.  Much in the same way the Redskin fans are upset about the phantom-fumble call against the Browns.  I haven't watched any of their games thus far, but I am not surprised that the LA Rams are now getting wins.  That's the biggest TV market in the league. 

It is just like big businesses everywhere...corruption reigns supreme.  Earning lots of money is never enough.  Greed enters and they want more and more and more....at all costs.  The games aren't "fixed" but there is certain bias and ignoring it doesn't change the fact that it is present.  It doesn't take much to change the outcome of these games.
