LSU moves on to super regional; NBA Finals tied: Bayou Bets

LSU easily advanced to its 16th Super Regional in school history, and they’re now just waiting to see who will visit Alex Box Stadium this weekend for the right to advance to the College World Series.

That obviously dominated talk on Monday’s “Bayou Bets” show, as Jim Derry and Spencer Urquhart were all over it. The duo also discussed the NBA Finals and whether the Miami Heat’s Game 2 victory over the Denver Nuggets was a fluke or a sign of things to come with Game 3 on Wednesday in Miami.

Also, Jim and Spencer chatted about Saints OTAs and the rumor about a certain backup quarterback being moved to the Raiders, and if you could have attended one Super Bowl that did not include the Black and Gold, which would it be?

“Bayou Bets” is sponsored by Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of The Advocate and Times-Picayune.

The show airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday on the Bayou Bets YouTube channel  and can be viewed on demand there anytime.

For the second consecutive game, the New Orleans Saints had a chance to take a two-game lead in the NFC South, but yet here they are tied with the Atlanta Falcons. To say it has been a highly frustrating few weeks would be a major understatement. Is there any reason to think it will change any time soon? Is Derek Carr the problem? If so, will any…

This whole up-one-week, down-the-next kind of season is getting mighty old for fans of the New Orleans Saints, but is it really all that much different than we discussed way back in August?

Simply refusing to put together a solid string if games, there are plenty more question marks as they head into their bye week. Also, while we're certain LSU is relegated to a bowl…

LSU-Alabama and Saints-Bears review: Watch Bayou Bets

We're at halftime of the New Orleans Saints' season, and they are just one week away from their bye. Will they go into it at 6-4 or 5-5? Either way, they will be in first place in the NFC South at the break. Still, though, there seem to be way more doubters than believers, and we ask: "Is the glass half full or half empty when it comes to the Black…

If one were to predict the Saints by doing the opposite of what they did the week before (which has not been a bad way to bet them so far this season), one would expect a big bounce back at Indianapolis this Sunday. However, Gardner Minshew and the Colts are in a similar boat. Is this a must win? And what about LSU? They have a week to prepare for…
