I'm not sure there's a conspiracy with the officials trying to aid the Packers but since they are playing the Raiders this weekend you can expect those beneficiary yards to balloon by at least 100 yards. I'm expecting at least two phantom pass interference calls and at least one roughing the passer for a clean hit on Rogers.
