Skip Bayless never holds out on speaking his mind. In his latest Twitter post, he threw shade at the division-leading Eagles. According to the Undisputed host, their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, are superior as he credits most of the Eagles’ victories as them being ‘lucky’. He bluntly declares, “Their luck will run out.“
The Dallas Cowboys are OBVIOUSLY better than the Philadelphia Eagles. 4 straight games they've trailed at half and been outgained. 4 straight they've lived on the edge without falling off it. Their luck will run out.
