The NFL officials are under a microscope and are looked at and graded during each game. Just out of curiosity what makes you think officiating is a closed society. Anyone who wants to can become an official. It may take you 15 - 20 years to get as high as the NFL. Another curious question, and not trying to be a smart $#@@, but what qualifications do you think you have. NFL officials aren't just people off the streets. They spent a minimum of 10 years at the high school level and then another 5 years at the college level. That's just the minimum just to apply. So to think that officials favor one team or another as your website suggests is ridiculous. Before you start judging officials maybe you should become one to get and inside view on exactly how dedicated you have to be. As far as bets, I wouldn't place any amount of money on any team based on your study. Some teams foul more than others so its not the crew. It may be easier to do your study on the types of plays called by the coach. That is what causes teams to win or lose, or how many interceptions a team throws.
