The Jets and Cowboys sucked for years. Its hard to get preferential treatment during games when your team is just awful. Im not saying the league is talking to the opposing quarterback thats going up against a terrible Dallas team and saying "hey, throw 4 ints this game, the Cowboys need to win". 

Now that the Cowboys are relevant and winning are they going to get "looser" pass interference calls when they play a team like the Bengals or Browns in a relevant game that the league wants to affect the outcome of? Absolutely I do. 

Also, just an FYI, Green Bay has like the third biggest fan base in the NFL.

I said I did, but preferential treatment and a potential RICO case are different.

They could have called holding or PI on those INTS. There were plenty of ways to influence outcomes if that was the idea.

This is just personal bias of your own with no real way to substantiate.

The Seahawks now have a huge following after being a shit following in a small market for years. After being good in recent years their popularity has grown, it is a reaction to being good they didn't get calls because of the market they were in. While Green Bay has a huge following now their following didn't really grow national until the early 90's.

Bias and criminal behavior are different. We have already been through this. The NFL isn't going to risk FBI investigations over getting the Steelers into the SB because frankly it will be the highest rated TV show of the year with or without them.
