The only people who'd be in any position to effectively fix the games would be the players. And you mean to tell me that in all these years of football, not a single one of these players has come forward and admitted that they cheated? And to the person above, of course the lines in the casinoes work against the gamblers. They have people who are paid millions of dollars to adjust those lines. Casinoes are a business, you think they just want to give their money away?

I say pro games are fixed and the first time I took notice was seeing a video pointing out all the bad calls in one particular game, and this game was Seattle vs Sf in the playoffs There were to many bad calls, too many bad judgement calls that went against SF. On almost every play that impacted the game which had to do with a judgement call made by the referees they all went against SF, and it was obvious that the refs were wrong. If you get a chance watch the game and observe every play that the referees called a penalty, spotted the ball, or made any judgement call, you will see how the 49ers were ripped off. By the way I was rooting for Seattle, I hate the 49ers, but I hate being ripped off as well.

No way. There might be individual players in certain games that will try to affect the outcome of a game for personal gain. Never teams or coaches at major college or pro levels. I shouldn't say never, but extremely rare.

With pro games anything is possible. I sincerely doubt college games are fixed.
Now college basketball, that's another story. (I ASSUME pro basketball is, if not fixed, then heavily slanted.)

If you watched last years superbowl you should know the answer to that question! Not to mention, it sure seemed strange that USC couldn't stop Vince Young at all on that last drive in last years college football championship. It was like the Trojan DBs were just letting the Texas WRs get open whenever they wanted.

i've thought about it, and here's what i came up with. If the NFL is fixed then the players know when they have to throw a game, and if they are gonna be made to look bad then there gonna want a lot of money, for the rest of their lives, and with egos like T.O.'s we all know there's no amount of money that can shut him up.....so my answer is a very hopeful no

Good question. My answer is YES. Everything has to do with gaming (gambling). I've been analyzing the movements of lines from different casinos in Las Vegas, and it's amazing how the lines move against gamblers.

But yeah, football is fixed or at least the big games are.
