I think it makes no sense to say that the NFL fixes it's own games. The league is hugely profitable regardless of who wins the games. If the league office is directing the officials to favor a certain team, why has no official come forward and exposed it? Are they being paid off? The amount of $ you'd have to pay the officials to silence them would exceed any increase in profits due to higher ratings for a certain team winning vs. another.
They would not risk the integrity of the league when they already are so profitable and have been for decades.
IMO the officiating is not very good. I've been following the league since the 1970's. There was a lot of bad calls then, there are a lot of bad calls now. It's very easy to take a call that favors a 'popular' team and say that's proof of fixing. Doesn't make it true.
