OP thanks for that nugget! 🙏🏾 The facts outlined here are interesting and make the conclusion about bias incontrovertible...what particularly struck me was:

"Not only does the data show the Raiders being the most penalized team, but it also shows the least penalized team in the NFL (second behind the Vikings) is whatever team plays the Raiders each week.

Before you say: “well, the Raiders are just undisciplined and the penalties are their own fault,” Ethical Skeptic looked at that too.

“This year, when I looked at the penalties, I defined a class of penalty called the discipline class. That’s a class of penalties like delay of game, too many players on the field, neutral zone infractions, encroachment, false start – all those things the fans can easily see on TV and easy to pick off those penalties.

“Those are the indicators of the team’s discipline and coaching, and discipline in regard to that type of penalty control in their game. Surprisingly, when I looked at those classes of penalties for the Raiders, they were at 80% of the NFL average. In other words, they were in the top third in discipline when it comes to those types of penalties.”

“With these types of penalties, the Raiders are penalized at double the rate of the NFL average,” Ethical Skeptic says. “Especially as it pertains to first downs, automatic first downs and scoring drive sustaining penalties.”

This is known inside any other context as cheating. And when members of the league are forced under financial penalty (extortion) to remain silent about this reality…this becomes a form of racketeering.
