"Have the deck stacked against" = bài (bạc) bị chia gian lận -> nghĩa là hầu như không có cơ hội thành công vì những khó khăn, chướng ngại hiện tại.

Ví dụ
Florida's hopes of reaching the CFP took a major blow last weekend, and it would likely still have the deck stacked against it even if it pulled off a major upset in Atlanta. These are some valid (hợp lý) points from Sankey, but the committee (ủy ban) may not see if that way. The door could still be open though.

In an offseason that's been impacted (ảnh hưởng) by the COVID-19 pandemic, teams that made lots of offseason changes have the deck stacked against them. Luckily for the Chiefs, they aren't one of those teams.

When underdogs (bên thua) succeed, they are never forgotten. And as difficult as the path may be, hope remains for a Sacramento team that always seems to have the deck stacked against them.

The Boilermakers do have the deck stacked against them coming into the game. Head coach Jeff Brohm is in isolation (cô lập) after testing positive for COVID-19 and star receiver Rondale Moore will also miss the game for an undisclosed (không được tiết lộ) reason.
