Whats the damn point of all of this? SURELY if you believe its fixed you arent watching the NFL now or ever again, right? I mean, my god, what a colossal waste of time. So if you arent watching, how is it you can recount all of the injustices? Why would you care? I dont see anyone giving us WWE updates.

And further, why talk about it at all? Yall just trying to help us see the light? Thanks? But like many things in life, you may find that nobody GAF what other people think.

Nope. This is just the 2025 contortion of bitching about teams/outcomes we/you dont like and pretending to put some sort of intellectual hat on it.

I didn’t bring gambling into it but Vegas benefitted from the Chiefs win. More money was on the Bills with a higher payout.

And was that the case for every Chiefs game or can we conclude that there is no strong correlation between Vegas' position and the Chiefs outcome?

That is far from the case on every Chiefs game. More money was wagered on the Bills. Usually, but not always, more money is wagered on the chiefs. The books typically try to balance the money out but in this game they took in heavier bets on the Bills.

So then we agree that the Vegas angle is nonsensical? Cool.

Im with you completely. Just please explain how Vegas is involved in making sure that the Chiefs when when....as you said...the Chiefs almost always had more money wagered on them.

Or just come up with some dismissive snippet pretending to be intellectual again.

Someone should start their own thread on this being about gambling. Has nothing to do with gambling.

Focus people.

I said I didn’t bring gambling into this. You did, with verifiably false statements that I addressed.

We've all heard the storyline plenty of times. Im not interested in leftovers. Im trying to have a conversation, apparently, with people who cant/wont answer questions. Im good here.

I think some of you are completely missing it. This has NOTHING to do with Gambling and Vegas.

Don't you all recall when Swift and Kelce first became an item and she showed up at a Chiefs game, then another, then another, and as this happened, it get every NON-Guy interested in Football.

Goodell saw this OBVIOUSLY, the Chiefs and the Swift thing were nearly doubling viewership and he knew the Chiefs were the team going to last years Super Bowl and again this year. With females interested in football you nearly doubled every source of income.

I know a girl, she's about 40, never cared about football. Last year she bought a Chiefs jersey and sewed Swift over the name on the back of it. She watched "Chiefs" games religiously week and week and the SB. She never watched a minute of footballl in her previious 39 years on this planet.

She is just an example of what happened and Goodell, hell call him smart, but I prefer power hungry and money hungry saw his meal ticket = the Chiefs to make the SB, the game itself as was last years will be clean, this was all about helping the Chiefs get there by the NFL once they're there, they've done their part. SB is clean.

Couldn’t agree more.

Damn, Mahomes been getting calls long before Swifties showed up!

Same way Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and a few select others have been the favored sons of the league at different points in time.

I'll be rooting for the Eagles and Saquon to get a ring, and I'll probably yell at the TV whenever the Chiefs get a call to go in their favor...but blaming it on Goodell having some sort of Satanic Pact with Swifties, is super silly at best.

I agree with you in terms of the bigger star getting the benefit of the doubt. Jordan got it against the Jazz and just about everyone else, Brady got it against everyone. The combination of Mahomes and the Swift angle has made the calls going the Chiefs way seem to stand out more. Almost like they’ve decided they’re not going to bother to try to hide it better. Could the Bills have come out of that game with a win? Sure, and shame on them for not destroying the Chiefs. But if there were going to be any close calls they were going to go against them. Hence you get a first down that wasn’t called (they got it twice), a ball hitting the ground ruled a catch, etc. The Texans game was more egregious so maybe they did try to hide it better. Progress.

I love it when I'm right....which is not always the case, but it was here.

So to wrap up Chiefs got help from the Refs/Goodell to get to the Super Bowl, and the game itself was clean.

Any geniuses saying this had to do with gambling or the NFL wanting the Chiefs to win another SB were just missing it.
