It's not fixed. Think about it, it would take a conspiracy of gargantuan proportions involving scores of people, refs (who are not full-time employees), players, etc. etc. If you believe it's fixed, you believe that Gibbs in the 3rd quarter, went into the play with the express instruction to make contact and to fumble the ball, and make it look legit.
I mean, that just does not happen
Now...what can happen and does in other sports is betting syndicates, often tied to criminal gangs, get individual players to throw a game or do something under instruction. This has sadly happened in Cricket, where Indian gangs have involved themselves in bribing players at the highest level, and those players are always caught in the end. This is the concern I have now the NFL has legalised gambling. The money involved is just massive.
Whenever massive gambling is in effect, corruption runs rampant. Never, ever trust the NFL specifically when it comes to this. Plenty of people have videos out there of NFL rigged officiating and also players with really weird reactions to certain plays.
Acts of God are a thing, and I don't think the entire game is scripted becuase that too hard. Massively influenced? Yep...and nobody would believe them unless the feds raided every single teams facility and the NFL headquarters in NY. Then maybe people would believe.
