That talk is back again. I'm reading in the news that the NFL is rigged, and a lot of people are upset that this weekend is going to be rigged in favor of the Bills, due to the refereeing crew being named Brad Allen. Brad Allen is officiating this game, and historically, the Jaguars have a losing record when his crew is on the field, while the Bills have won most of their games with him as the referee. Now, Brad Allen's crew has a huge gap on it. The Jacks have not done well when this crew has officiated. The Bills, on the other hand, well, they seem to love them. I don't know if there's any truth to all the rumors that have gone around. I do believe that the NFL uses officiating to keep the flow of the game going, to insert key points of drama when necessary, especially on primetime television games and playoff games. But rigged? Not completely, no. There’s no evidence that the league actually rigs games, though the patterns in penalties and wins with certain crews are real. Definitely, though, something to keep an eye on, especially if you're putting money on the game. You know, the Jaguars are a small-market team. Buffalo also really technically a small-market team, though. It should be interesting. Does Brad Allen help the Bills get to the next level? I guess we'll wait and see. I would like to think that it's the teams playing on the field that decide that, though. Let's go Jags.#Jaguars #GoJags https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/it-s-whatever--6830625
