Starting around 2001, it seems the Super Bowls have been close and exciting with one or two exceptions and part of that is the league giving favoritism calls to certain franchises with high merchandize sales so the teams who are the "in" clubs get the favorable calls late in the game.
Look who survived this weekend:
The Packers
The Steelers
The Seahawks
The Chiefs
Look who got beat:
The Redskins
The Vikings
The Bengals
The Texans
Not to say the Texans could have won even with beneficial officiating but my point is that a handful of favored clubs show up in the playoffs every year and it is more than coincidence.
Of those favored clubs, almost all are still alive (Cowboys and Colts the exceptions) and the non-favored clubs are just the Chiefs and the Cardinals. Expect the Chiefs and Cardinals to get screwed next.
