there are many ways, and many reasons why something like this can happen.
let me give you an example.
when a trade involves a draft pick, one of the things that can be negotiated, is the quality of the pick....one might guarentee a 3 win season 1st round draft pick.
this kind of guarentee, would fix a whole season of games for the team that the draft pick involves.
these draft pick negotiations are also very common in other profesional sports [nhl, nba].
in the nfl, one of the most common fixed games, come from teams who have targeted a specific draft prospect, thus fixing many losses for that team....these fixes are arranged through the managment of the franchise, and the players on the field truly have no say in the matter.
these kind of fixes are pretty much common knowledge in the nfl.

And why are you a fan if you know it's all crap? That's like being a pro wrestling fan...

these kind of fixes actually benefit a gambler like myself who is aware that these things go on.
so yeah, its a living
