Saints-Lions, College Football Playoffs: Watch Bayou Bets
The New Orleans Saints are one giant mess following their third straight loss on Sunday to the Detroit Lions. There’s still time to clean up their mess and win the NFC South, but does anyone think they actually will? (Vegas doesn’t with odds that have shot up to +400.)
Meanwhile, the College Football Playoff committee chose two teams with one loss in Texas and Alabama over undefeated and ACC champion Florida State. Did they get it right? We’ll discuss that and more with our Bet.NOLA.com crew on Monday’s Bayou Bets show, which aired live on all our social media platforms. (And you can watch it here now.)
Jim Derry and Spencer “The Guru” Urquhart also discuss the viability of Tulane in the Military Bowl without Willie Fritz (and potentially Michael Pratt), and whether it’s a cinch Jayden Daniels has locked up the Heisman Trophy. Also, we close with a look at the Pelicans as they enter the in-season tournament and a preview of Monday Night Football, as the Jacksonville Jaguars are huge favorites at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.
“Bayou Bets” is sponsored by Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of The Times-Picayune and The Advocate and airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday on the Bayou Bets YouTube channel (among other NOLA.com social media channels) and can be viewed on demand there anytime.
