Al Michaels does not shy away from making gambling references while calling football games. It’s clear that the man knows a thing or two about the art of making wagers.
But he made a bit of a startling admission ahead of the ‘Thursday Night Football’ broadcast featuring the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week.
Michaels dropped by ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ before the game and said he’s always known what the betting spreads are and knew what it was when Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey surprisingly missed from 51 yards against the New York Giants last Thursday.
“I was surprised that Brandon Aubrey missed that kick because he hasn’t missed all year,” he said. “I knew what the spread was obviously but I’ve known that throughout the years.”
