I agree games are rigged but this one is not.. If it was Terrance Williams would not have scored a TD to tie and Saints would have covered at that point instead of OT.. if you want to talk about a rigged game we can talk about the first game of the season. Steelers trying so hard to keep it close. Go for 2 when your down 12 to make it a 10 point game.. never seen that in my life.. plus trying so hard at the end to score a TD and did.. Or last Sunday night with Denver in Detroit. Detroit didn't even try to score at the end. They had quick outs all day to gain yards and stop the clock.. I had a teaser that game and was irate..

Not if the money was on Dallas. I played Saints 4 ways and hit them all. Rigged like the WWE. That kicker hits a 51 yarder straight as an arrow but shanks the chip shot so Vegas doesn't give all that money back with a 3 point spread. This shit is WWE.

But I was on Pit TT Under 20.5 for the same amount, were they working for ME?
Money dictates the way the game is played so yes. They were working for anyone on the under. This is not football. Its a circus/ magic show where they fool anyone watching it. Its an entertainment business first, and the players know it.

Because the nfl is considered an "Entertainment" business, it can legally rig and affect the outcomes of their games , with no legal repurcussion. This was tested in supreme court when somebody tried to sue the nfl for saying he was cheated out of his money back when spygate happened. The ruling concluded that as an "entertainment" industry there is no binding contract saying that they must guarentee an equal outcome for one side compared to the other , and that they have full jurisdiction over what happens or doesnt happen in the games.
2 calls that really stood out for me yesterday :
-3rd and long on final drive of philly/wash game with wash driving to win the game. Cousins was dropped for an incomplete pass which would have made it 4th and long. Instead the ref calls a defensive holding penalty on Carroll , 5 yrds automatic first down. This receiver wasnt even in the play, and when they showed the replay he WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE to being contacted by the cb. This was pivitol and of course wash then scored a TD off this drive.
-4th q of Dal/NO , Jason Witten with a completely obvious screen play in which he even knocked the defender to the ground , no call, reciever catches it and runs for 1st down setting up to dallas game tying td. This may not be that bad, but when the refs are calling ticky tack holding/PI calls all game, and then this goes unnoticed at such a pivitol point in the game, is a little iffy.
