Skip Bayless tried to claim he picked Cowboys to win NFC East; Twitter proves otherwise

Skip Bayless spent a good part of Sunday trying to brag on Twitter about his prediction that the Dallas Cowboys would win the NFC East.

I have no idea when Skip supposedly made this declaration, but he claims to have done it before the season began:

Before the season I predicted the Cowboys would win the division. Stephen A thought that was so ludicrous he WALKED OFF THE 1ST TAKE SET.

Sure enough, thanks to the Eagles’ loss to the Redskins Saturday and the Cowboys’ win over the Colts, Dallas clinched the division. Bayless was right there to brag about his supposed correct prediction.

The only problem is you can’t get over too easily on the Twitter crowd. They were quick to remind the commentator about his pick in July that the Redskins would win the division:

Skip Bayless Redskins win NFC East

Now that’s the way to do picks. Pick two teams out of four to win the division, have a 50-50 chance of being right, and just hope everyone forgets about the incorrect pick.

This is the second time we’ve seen someone call out Bayless for a bad prediction in the last month. The last time was even better because it was another ESPN employee calling him out.
