Do any of you guys believe it is rigged,and if so why? I personally beleive that it has a high chance to it being rigged,due to the large amounts of money being bet on it. For example one rapper is putting $5 million on the patriots to win. And he is small change compared to some international organized crime,and billionaires that could easily put $50 million or more, and spend a few million bribing players and ref's. It is known that organized crime was involved in point shaving schemes in college basketball,so it is not impossible that the NFL is rigged somewhat. The 1919 World series was rigged when organized crime bribed 8 white sox players to lose the games.

I really doubt big games as this are rigged. They are definitely doing smaller games where you can still bet good amounts of money and its easier to pribe people. There are hunders of games played every day in different sports around there world where you can bet big and pribe more easily.

I do not think that it is rigged. NFL makes much more money from advertisers than they do from bookies who bet on teams.

People are not interested in rigged sports. It's the surprise and suspense of not knowing.

I dont think the NFL is rigging it,but maybe some ref's and players are getting bribed,not the stars but maybe some of the linebackers or lineman.
