Saints practicing in L.A. with Chargers: Watch on Bayou Bets
As it normally is, there was good news and bad news about Day 1 of a joint practice out west with the Los Angeles Chargers, and that was the lead topic for Jim Derry and Spencer Urquhart on Thursday’s Bayou Bets show. Some of the injured players were back in uniform, including guard Andrus Peat and running back Kendre Miller. However, the play was a bit sloppy, as Jeff Duncan reported four pre-snap penalties on offense.
Meanwhile, speaking of Duncan, he released his annual report on the media’s best guesses for the Saints and the 2023 season. Just as they were last year at this time, the predicted records are through the roof with 27 of 28 reporters saying a winning record is in store for the Black and Gold, including one who said 13-4.
Just before Jim and Spencer finished the show with their bi-weekly rants, they discussed the release of the Pelicans’ 2023-24 schedule and talked about how tough it might be for the team in October and November.
“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.
