The New Orleans Saints host their first NFC South opponent of the season in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while LSU is home vs. Texas A&M in a pivotal SEC matchup. Will Spencer Rattler have a bounce-back game, or will there be more talk of Tyler Shough? Will the Brian Kelly haters go silent for at least a game?
Is what we see Sunday and Saturday going to be what it will look like for the rest of the season? NOLA.com Saints editor and Times-Picayune / Advocate assistant sports editor Zach Ewing joins host Jim Derry for his weekly visit, as each have answers on another “Fun Friday” edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 432) presented by Evangeline Securities. What about the Pelicans in their home opener vs. San Antonio?
Zach and Jim will make their predictions for the Saints and LSU, and they will hear from fans, who also make their picks. To finish it off, Gabe Henderson and Uncle Big Nick are here for another edition of the “Pick Em” contest and their Best Bets for NFL Week 8 and CFB Week 9 (the two-thirds mark!), and our meteorologist Damon Singleton has the Dat Weather forecast for our teams.
