NFL RIGGED TRENDING

let's here it boys. tell me how the refs just made a bad call. It happens and blah blah blah 

Made bad calls on both teams but mostly on Bengals. Chiefs are not a highly penalized team. Bengals play in AFC North and used to more physical game. All the PI¡®S I saw were legit. They missed several holds on KC defense and Chris Jones in particular.  

biggest one was the block in the back no call on the punt return and then on the finaly play holding coud have been called on 2 of the kc oline there. absolutely fucking brutal. the redo 4th down play was also so bizarre that even the mahomes c0ck sucking tony romo called it out. in all my years of betting on the nfl this was by far the most "suspect" game of officiating i have ever witnessed. will not be watching the super bowl after this. hope more will follow

 what is lies? you can go on twitter and watch the hundreds of posts people are posting of the video they took on their tv replaying those plays over and over. i missed them in live action but saw them on all of these posts and just shake my head even more. not to mention that no call on grounding the play before the run, mahomes pass didnt even get to the line of scrimmage

The NFL is the easiest sport to rig, because holding calls are both ubiquitous and subjective. Only takes a handful of calls on one team, or ignoring them for the other, to change the outcome.  PI's can also be thrown into the mix, although it's usually a bit more obvious when the wrong call is made, or ignored.

Even though I bet on the Bengals, watching it live, I'd say most of the calls against the Bengals looked legit. However, the fact that an injured Mahommes was able to sit in the pocket most of the game and escape contact did seem "fortuitous," to say the least. The two penalties on the last drive were both definitely penalties. The repeated 3rd down was very strange, but the ref was clearly trying to stop the play before it was snapped.

To be honest, it seemed like there were more obviously bad calls in the Eagles game, without watching both games in more details.

Definitely easy to see why the KC game would have people crying "Fix" though. Chiefs definitely came out on the right side of the calls.

I guess the question becomes did the majority of sportsbooks AND the NFL stand to make more money with KC winning? 

I think it's a bit simplistic to assume that's the only reason a game might be rigged or fixed... but let me be clear. I bet on the Bengals... I watched the whole game... I didn't see anything (at least watching it live) that suggested that game was fixed.  HOWEVER, like I said, holding calls can be something that makes games very easy to rig.

But just to entertain your question... there was certainly more money bet on the Bengals than the Chiefs, due to (1) the Mahommes injury, and (2) the impressive showing by the Bengals against the Bills.  At best, betting on that game was close enough to 50/50 that the books were happy regardless of which way it went... with the exception of a 1 point victory by the Chiefs (creating a lot of middles).

Now the question of whether KC is a more attractive Super Bowl team than Cincy is up for debate. I certainly would rather see the Chiefs, but that's because I would rather see the Bengals plane crash in a jungle than make it to the Super Bowl... so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

That Bengal player fake crying over there. Thats what they do in the so called off season. They are meeting at the facility and secrertly taking acting lessons.

The ref who let a play play out and then whistled the play a "no play" because of the play clock seemed suspicious. I have never seen that before,then you add all of the calls that went the Chiefs way. This game trumps any game i've ever seen for miscalls and "rigged" games.
