"If you’re someone like me, who only watches professional football to see those beautiful yellow flags soar through the air, Week 1 was a thrill-a-minute bonanza. Ten-yard, spot-of-the-foul enthusiasts everywhere were brought to the peak of joy with each yellow penalty graphic that appeared in a sudden flash of glory."
The more states that legalize sports betting, the more the refs will control the game......they know the public bets the Over in most games, especially tv games.
Yes it is! Can't beat the Goodell/Kraft dynasty. Here's a few more numbers on how Cheats always get the "edge" in the playoffs.

All it takes is one or two well placed holding calls/penalties and the outcome of the whole game changes. Super Bowl 40 was glaringly obvious. Last years Super Bowl turned on a phantom holding penalty as well.

I love your silly obsession, it's awesome, and you're not alone. You have a buddy in Metro
Are you taking advantages of all these fixes? I am, easy money baby
I've already posted in another thread that only LOCK in the history of betting is the Cheats under penalties in the Super Bowl. And yes I bet on this prop every Super Bowl. I'm certain I posted this play in the forum. And it's not an obsession just pointing out the facts, they Cheat and rarely get called for a holding penalty. Love how the refs gave one to Gronk at the end in last years Super bowl to make it look a little more even. To an objective observer it seems you guys are more obsessed in defending the Cheats than I am pointing out the facts.
