Betting on sports is just a huge business and it took a while for the NFL to get on board with it.

Now that it is here, it appears that everybody has a hand in placing bets, even the people calling the games.

During the Thursday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs, the home team seemed ready to cover the -4.5 spread with a 10-point lead late into the fourth quarter.

However, an injured Justin Herbert found Joshua Palmer for a late touchdown and the Chargers switched everything by being able to cover the spread.

While announcing on the Amazon Prime broadcast, Michaels let out an emphatic “yes!” that had fans thinking he definitely had money on the game.
