Legendary former Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin is, unsurprisingly, all in on his old team to win it all in 2023.
Appearing on FS1’s Undisputed on Thursday morning, Irvin picked the Cowboys to win Super Bowl LVIII over the Cincinnati Bengals during the show’s Super Bowl picks segment. If his pick comes true, it’d be the first championship in 27 years for the Cowboys, dating back to the three Super Bowl rings Irvin won in a Cowboys uniform in the 1990s.

Show host Skip Bayless, whose love for the Cowboys is well-known, didn’t go quite as far as Irvin, picking the Cowboys to reach the Super Bowl but lose to the Baltimore Ravens.
“I will admit to you, I have little to no objectivity… Last night, I went completely over the edge because I’m saying this team is as loaded as it has ever been,” Bayless said. He did stop short of picking them to win it all, partially to avoid jinxing his favorite team.
The reaction from fans to Irvin and Bayless? A collective eye-roll.
Lol! No That Won't Happen. Stop It Michael. https://t.co/NBKLpdhjR0
