Skip Bayless’ shocked reaction to Cowboys being favorites vs. Eagles on MNF

Skip Bayless exhibited a stunned expression upon learning that the Dallas Cowboys were being favored by four and a half points to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. As a well-known advocate for the Cowboys, even Bayless found it hard to fathom the oddsmakers' assessment of his beloved team. During a discussion with sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, Bayless bluntly stated his loss of confidence in the Cowboys' abilities, saying, "We’re like baying at the moon, you know, we don’t have an offense or a defense."

He expressed uncertainty about how the Cowboys could be considered road favorites, with his gut feeling being that Philadelphia would manage to win the game despite not having Jalen Hurts at quarterback. The Cowboys currently stand at a 2-4 record, struggling in all facets of the game, with their quarterback Dak Prescott and defense both facing significant challenges.

Philadelphia, however, has consistently managed to secure victories at home, even without their star quarterback Jalen Hurts. While oddsmakers may see an opportunity for Dallas to exploit a weakened Eagles team, Bayless believes Philadelphia will prevail. If Prescott fails to deliver on Monday night, the pressure on the Cowboys' coaching staff and players in Texas could become intense.
