I agree , In today's world that's not likely to happen with any mob guys getting to a ref or player or whoever , Especially since the Mob has been wiped out on that level where they operated like a 2nd government and nationwide all powerful syndicate , I do think though that some games are scripted in a way or fixed between the ownership and highest levels of the NFL and Casinos/Sportsbooks etc.

How exactly does that play out in your head? Not even counting the entire coaching and training staff, or officiating crews, there are over 50 players on each team. 22 players on the field at any given time. That's a lot of moving parts to "script." Not to mention a lot of potential leaks. If there was regular fixing going on, don't you think something would have slipped out by now and you wouldn't have to go back over half a century for examples?

The most we see, and I think this is more apparent in college football, is ref bias towards a certain team. For example, if two teams are playing in their conference championship, and one has a good enough record to go to the playoffs or a NY6 bowl if they win, you can expect to see more calls going their way. Or, in the NBA, we've seen calls (or no-calls) benefit star players like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Lebron James over the years. But there's a big difference between these examples (which aren't really tied to gambling) and high level, systemic game fixing.

DeBartolo = history of corruption and midwest mafia ties.
Garappolo = born and raised in Illinois, worked under New England and transferred to SF.
Bosa = great-grandson of Tony Accardo

What else needs to be said? The San Francisco family has revitalized itself though its ties to Chicago and the midwest and is now operating under the guise of legitimacy by pretending to be a pro-football team.

Interference is a pretty good book about the mob and gambling connections of the original owners. Moldea accused the old man DeBartolo of being a Trafficante associate and the Debartolos sued the cop who made these claims to Moldea. I think he had to give a public retraction or something. Al Davis had some business dealings with Alan Glick and Tamara Rand but there wasn't much more than that, that anyone could prove at least.
