maybe not completely but I really feel like they have certain teams they'd like to see win. Any thoughts?

It is hard to tell but I think it is human nature that the refs have their favorite teams. Some of the calls I saw on TV are very questionable.
Also these days every game is gambled on heavily. You think people from Las Vegas want to keep it fair?
Oh Oh Oh, my mistake! The Vegas casino owners are all honest businessmen so I can't imagine that they would pay people off to fix a game or two per week. If you even suggest that you must be a bitter person. Or you don't know anything about football.
Finally NFL is god. Not one should ever question anything about it or anything the league do. Or you are very likely to be put in jail. You know people like Jerry Jones and Al Davis are model citizens. They are not in it for the money. Their well intention should be honored, and they should be elected as President and Vice President of the universe.

Eh, a lot of people have had the same argument recently, given the Super Bowl Champions...
2001 season - Patriots win right after the terrorist attack on America
2005 Season - Steelers win in Jerome Bettis' hometown when it's pretty well known he is planning on retiring.
2006 - If the Saints win it all, I'll be more convinced. Everytime a Saints game is on they talk about how their success has helped raise the city's spirits after Katrina. A Super Bowl victory by them, and Bourbon St. would be going nuts.
I really dont think the outcomes of games are predetermined, but youre right, It definitely does seem like it's a little uneven at some times...

At times, the NFL can indeed be fixed, I don't think the NFL itself does it, but I believe the refs do it. Look at the last 2 Pats superbowls, they were complete bull, as well as the steelers SB win last season.
Most of the time though, NFL is straight forward.

Yes it is completely fixed on the officiating level. The same rules don't apply to every team.

yea, watch the saints win it all this year!, the refs are starting to cheat for them just as they did Pittsburgh last year and when did you ever see a halftime show to rival the superbowl during the regular season like the one in New Orleans during their grand return to the city and revamped stadium earlier this year in prime time.

you have to play the games out somtimes there are calls that suck and make you wonder if there's favoritism or whatnot but then again the officials are human and will make mistakes from time to time
