The league never even addresses it even when very well known players come right out and tell people it's rigged. I don't think it's rigged to favor gamblers, but it is rigged to favor the team owners bottom line. That's one of the reasons larger television markets win more often than smaller markets, but the people who figure this stuff out are smart enough to allow smaller market teams win out for a few years here and there. Simple fact is if NY and LA and Chicago suddenly started winning all the time with little to no explanation fans in all the flyover cities would simply stop watching. They're smart enough to realize that small markets also have gold mines in them and there has been a LOT of accusations of rigging over the past few decades that smaller markets had to start winning or they were at risk of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs..   
There's been just too much information come out over the past several years to keep denying it.. It's like flat earthers after awhile.. 

New York is a huge market. Both teams are dumpster fires.
