Not sure how much I buy into it. Last game of the season and a loss gives you a better pick? Sure.

Coach going in the locker room and telling his players they need to lose all season? Probably not.
This. The human dynamic and not to mention business proposition. If you can't even pretend to be competitive you can't push merch, concessions, or ticket sales. Nobody wants to sponsor the team so there's denied revenue there as well.

Too much money denied to be intentionally bad. Jaguars notwithstanding.
