We had plenty of opportunity to pull this one out. But let's be honest. Some of these calls were major head scratchers at best. The NFL isn't totally rigged, but there's a TON of money on the line. I keep my mind open to the possibility that the refs may try to steer some outcomes if it's close.
Mahomes is their LeBron now. Can't have his legend ruined by the Bengals of all teams. It at least has to go back and forth. If Burrow and the Bengals win today, imagine what the new narratives would've been.
Now we can go back to Romo comparing Mahomes vs Burrow to Jordan vs Drexler.
BINGO!!!! Games are most definitely influenced, and it's very, very easy to do.
