It's so much more than that. Soccer is unbelievably easy to fix as a ref. Football is impossible by comparison.
Plus, there's 7-8 officials in football. And although there's a head official, he can't overrule others w/o being obvious. That's not true w/ soccer. The main referee decides most calls. Plus, he can overrule any of the assistants. And there's no issue if he does.
There's no instant replay with soccer. And, a soccer ref can call penalty kicks almost whenever they want. Or not call them. He can issue red cards (which means player ejection w/o being able to substitute, so one team plays w/ 1 less player for the rest of the game).
The bottom line is that you can't get 7-8 refs to conspire to fix an NFL game w/o a huge risk that 1 or 2 will slip and tell someone. It's incredibly easy w/ 1 ref in soccer.
