Live March Madness reactions, best bets on 'Bayou Bets'

With host Zach Ewing joining live from the Las Vegas Strip, Thursday's episode of "Bayou Bets" brought live reaction to the early slate of March Madness games and picks for the rest of the first round.

Sports betting writer Jim Derry was happy about his upset pick of Furman over Virginia in the South Region, while Ewing reminded viewers of why some upsets aren't as shocking as casual viewers might think.

The duo also gave some picks for the rest of the weekend — including an early Friday slate full of live dogs in Kennesaw State, Cal-Santa Barbara and VCU.

As for football, Derry had a strong reaction to the New Orleans Saints' signing of running back Jamaal Williams and a plan for them to attack the offseason before next month's draft.

Bayou Bets airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday and is available on demand on the Bayou Bets YouTube channel.
