Yes, of course, certain match-ups will generate better ratings. I don't believe it's worth risking the scandal that would occur if it ever came out that the league was fixing it's own games.
If you think the league is that corrupt why do you still follow it?
I dont believe the league comes to the refs and says "hey, make sure the Cowboys win this week".
I do think league officials may sit down with refs before certain games to meet, go over the game, review tape, and give their input like "hey that number 55 for the Bengals tends to hit low and mouth off to officials, lets make sure we call that tight this game and flag him on his first offense" or something along those lines.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
