Herbert did not throw a TD in the game, and fans were amazed at how DraftKings straight up finessed them.
.
Coming into tonight, Justin Herbert has had only one game in his entire career where he didn’t throw at least one touchdown.
Tonight was his 2nd game without one.
It’s astonishing how often these boosts don’t come through, even when it seems like such a sure thing. https://t.co/cOhEcWAx31

Some fans believe that there was something fishy going on with the odds boost.
Justin Herbert only has one game in his entire career without a passing TD and it’s going to happen again on a day DraftKings coincidentally has an odds boost for him to throw one TD and I’m supposed to believe the NFL isn’t rigged 😂😂😂

There’s literally no way the NFL isn’t rigged after that Justin Herbert odds boost on DraftKings

Justin Herbert has thrown a TD in 26 straight regular season games. Tonight, Draft Kings boosted Herbert one passing touchdown from -800 to +100…he has yet to throw a TD.
Sports leagues and sports books are in cahoots with each other. Change my mind.

Deleting @DraftKings immediately, completely rigged. Only one other time his career Herbert has not thrown for a TD and today of all games his odds are boosted to +100 from -800. Listen I’m fine with losing my money but not okay with theft #DraftKingsMNF
