I just don't see why the NFL would care so much in most cases.... Cowboys had won one playoff game in like 17 years, but now they care? Peyton is the NFL's love child, but not enough to actually win much of anything outside of playing Rex Grossman?
I could see them swaying outcomes by emphasizing rules before/during games and stuff like that, but I just don't see the huge benefit of making sure the Cowboys win over the Lions in that case. Hell, I'd be more willing to accept the Patriots/Ravens being rigged for Brady/Manning or Brady/Luck. The risk/reward of rigging games and it eventually being leaked is just not there. Well, except that time the Saints won the SB... that was super weird, right?

And there is the key.
The NFL as a whole is filthy stinking rich, they don't need to rig anything for rating etc...they will still be just fine.
We had the Rams and Titans in a SB for **** sake. 2 towns nobody gives a shit about in the football world except their own fans.
The Ravens and the Panthers? Same.
I would also love to be in the room where the decide who they are going to favor and how they are going to go about it. They cant get personal conduct penalties right and consistent but they are fixing games with no problems.
Yea right.
