Saints-Lions preview, CFB playoffs talk: Watch Bayou Bets
Now that the New Orleans Saints have squandered a chance to take hold of the NFC South, they’ll have to regroup and play each game as if it’s the playoffs. The good news is they open a three-game homestand Sunday. The bad news is it’s against the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions.
On Thursday’s Bayou Bets show, Jim Derry and Thomas Casale try to jam-pack everything in under an hour, as not only do we make our predictions on the Saints, but we’re looking at Tulane hosting SMU in the AAC championship game Saturday at Yulman Stadium. We also will dive into whether the College Football Playoff selection committee will get easy choices or chaos with this weekend’s title games, including Oregon vs. Washington and Georgia vs. Alabama.
Lastly, Jim and Thomas bring in Spencer “The Guru” Urquhart and Gabe Henderson to offer their top five picks of the week on Big Buck$ and to find out which one of the Bet.NOLA.com crew gets to wear the “Turkey of the Week” hat after eating all that Turkey Day food last week.
“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.
