The phrase "to fall out of favor" means to stop being popular or to lose approval: "The idea that women should stay at home all day fell out of favor in the U.S. in the mid-1900s." Normally a "favor" is something nice that one does for another person, often trying to help that person in some way: "Could you please do me a favor and buy some milk on your way home from work?" Or, "No, you don't need to pay me back. I did it as a favor." The phrase "the odds are stacked in (one's) favor" means that someone has an advantage and is likely to win or be successful: "That team has really strong players, so the odds are stacked in its favor."
