It’s Sweet 16 weekend in men’s and women’s college basketball, and the “Bayou Bets” crew of Zach Ewing and Jim Derry offered up their best bets, sleeper Final Four picks and more on Thursday’s edition.
The show, focused on Louisiana sports and sports betting, is sponsored by Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of The Advocate and Times-Picayune. It airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday.
Jim and Zach were on opposite sides for Thursday night’s game between Tennessee and Florida Atlantic, but they agreed on their best bet for Friday’s game — they both liked one remaining No. 1 seed to cover the spread while thought the other could be in for a challenge.
On the women’s side, LSU is a 5-point favorite for Friday afternoon’s Sweet 16 matchup with Utah, showing that the Tigers probably were under-seeded as a regional No. 3. Jim and Zach also discussed what it would mean if LSU could cash in as a -120 favorite to reach the Final Four in Dallas.
