I'm not saying life and the NFL are fair, but the Packers seems like a tenuous example of "big money" winning.

The Packers are actually in the top 10 in terms of revenue generation for the league. The Bears rank just outside the top 10, so it would make sense for the Packers to win the NFC North. Green Bay is small, but their fan base is big and loyal.

The two teams discussed as getting screwed in this thread are the number 31 and 32 ranked teams in terms of revenue generation. Seems like the rigged argument holds up from that perspective.

I got the info here (https://www.statista.com/statistics/193553/revenue-of-national-football-league-teams-in-2010/). The link says 2010 but the information on it says 2019. You have to have a subscription to get full access but it gave me a free view if you are interested.

For stats that are more easily accessed, Aaron Rodgers is a top 5 jersey seller. The Lions and Bengals don’t have a single player in the top 50.
