The Dallas Cowboys coach seemed surprised to hear his team is not favored to beat the 49ers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.

Making his weekly appearance on the "Shan and RJ" show on 105.3 The FAN on Friday, McCarthy was made aware that his Cowboys are four-point underdogs.

He stopped, admitted he was stonewalling, then said he agreed with Micah Parsons' comments earlier in the week on embracing the underdog role.
