Pelicans give us live-odds whiplash on 'Bayou Bets'

Besides live odds updates from the first round of The Masters, much of Thursday's episode of "Bayou Bets," the live sports betting on Bet.NOLA.com, was taken up by the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Pels ranged from +750 to -15000 on the live money line in the fourth quarter alone on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies before needing overtime to record a 138-131 victory (and a miraculous cover of the 6½-point spread).

Hosts Zach Ewing and Jim Derry discussed that whiplash as well as the Pelicans' chances moving forward into the Western Conference play-in tournament or, if things go well, all the way into the playoffs.

Also discussed: Our favorite Masters storylines (imagine a Sunday final pairing of PGA golden boy Scottie Scheffler against LIV defector Brooks Koepka), our takeaways from the first week of the Major League Baseball season and shifting odds on the top pick in the NFL draft.

The show airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday on the Bayou Bets YouTube channel.
