Gotta disagree with you on that one and it wasn't exactly my general point to begin with... Parity and down to the wire games create ratings. It's all part of the shared revenue, salary cap system they have in place. Again, I think there is some sort of "nudging" going on, but some of that is geared towards keeping games, divisions, and playoffs competitive and ratings monsters. It's all baked into the NFL machine, along with Vegas...
