Michael Irvin predicts Dallas Cowboys will win Super Bowl LVIII

Michael Irvin made it clear he’s still pulling for his Dallas Cowboys this week, sharing that his former team is his pick to win Super Bowl LVIII this year.

On Undisputed with Skip Bayless, the former Cowboys receiver explained why he’s backing Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott to “seize everything” in 2023.

“I prayed hard this offseason and God said, ‘I shall bless you for this turmoil,'” Irvin said. “He said, ‘for the suffering, I will give you some great days’… ‘Your latter days will be better than your former days’ … My latter days will be coming in February when the Cowboys go to the Super Bowl and play the Cincinnati Bengals.”

Irvin said that he likes the Kansas City Chiefs but the injury to Travis Kelce has him bullish on some other teams pushing past them this season.

The Cowboys haven’t been to the Super Bowl, nor won the NFC title, since the 1990s, but like Irvin, many believe the team has the pieces needed to make a run this year.

Irvin left off NFL Network’s 2023 lineup

Since leaving NFL Network’s Super Bowl coverage after an incident in an Arizona hotel, Irvin has been off the air. The network released its list of contributors for the 2023 season this week and Irvin was still not included.

The NFL Network pulled Irvin from their coverage after a woman, who worked at a Phoenix-area Marriott-owned hotel, accused the former Miami star of making lewd comments and touching her without her consent. She also said he told her he’d find her later in the week while he was staying at the hotel. The incident resulted in Irvin moving hotels.

Video from the pair’s interaction in the lobby showed the former Cowboys legend talking animatedly with the female hotel employee, however, the footage, which Irvin showed at a press conference, did not include audio to either confirm or deny the lewd remarks he allegedly made.

Irvin denied the allegations and even filed a $100 million lawsuit against Marriott. However, he never filed against NFL Network for suspending him.

Despite the unfortunate turn in Irvin’s broadcast career, it appears he has a new home, at least for the time being.

Irvin joined fellow former NFL stars Keyshawn Johnson and Richard Sherman on Skip Bayless’s retooled Undisputed this week. The show underwent major changes to the format after Shannon Sharpe left earlier this summer.
