Ever notice some teams get all the calls?

It seems to me that there are certain teams that are the darlings of the NFL and seem to get favorable officiating overall.

Some of the teams that I notice which seem to always "get the calls" include the Steelers, Packers and the Patriots. The Giants also seem to fall into that category as well.

Has anyone else noticed that bias?

No idea if it's actual bias, but the Stealers and the Packers sure seem to wind up on the right side of a lot of play calls. That PIT/SEA Superbowl almost made me quit watching football for a while.

On the opposite end of that spectrum seems to be the LOLions. Those guys always get jobbed, and I can't help it but I think it's hilarious.

Yes, I think some of it is based on reputation of the team / coach.

The Raiders always seem to get called for everything while the Steelers barely anything, especially in big moments of the game.
