Skip Bayless makes a bold prediction regarding Cowboys' playoff hopes

Dallas Cowboys superfan and co-host of Fox Sports' Undisputed Skip Bayless is all in on his team in 2022. After the Cowboys put the Chicago Bears to the sword in a 49-29 win at AT&T Stadium, Bayless is full of confidence.

The win now moves Dallas to 6-2 on the season and they will enter their bye week in a good mood, just not as good as Bayless.

He took to Twitter to map out the Cowboys record for the remainder of the season. He pointed out that his team will have a regular-season record of 13-4.

Bayless wrote:

"My Cowboys (thanks to Cooper Rush) now hit the bye 6-2. They should win 1 of the 2 at GBay, at Minn. They should beat the Giants on Thanksgiving. They should win the next 3 (Indy, Hou, atJax). THEY WILL BEAT PHILLY ON XMAS EVE. They should win 1 of last 2 at Tenn, at Wash. 13-4."

His status will certainly make Dallas fans happy. Whether or not America's Team can in fact make Bayless' tweet come true will be a fascinating watch.


Pollard runs Cowboys to huge win over Bears

With Ezekiel Elliott inactive for the Bears clash, Tony Pollard was finally given a shot at taking the RB1 role. He took it with both hands.

Having been used sparingly through the first seven games, against Chicago, Pollard went off. He finished with 131 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries as Dallas obliterated the Bears.

What is rather interesting is that despite the 49-29 scoreline, the Dallas defense gave up 240 rushing yards. Usually when a team gives up that much, they lose the game. Not today.

Dak Prescott, in his second game back, again made positive strides. he completed 21 of his 27 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns and an ugly interception (his only bad play of the game).

Malik Davis was elevated from the practice squad and the former Florida Gator finished with 23 yards rushing on eight carries. He also caught two passes for 18 yards as well.

Dallas is now well positioned heading into the second half of the season. Several defensive players limped off the field at various stages, so the bye week has come at the perfect time.

With two weeks to get healthy, Dallas will then face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers at Lambeau Field, a game that Skip Bayless thinks they will win.
