The New Orleans Saints’ signing of free agent quarterback Derek Carr immediately improved the teams’ futures odds across the board, and the “Bayou Bets” crew of Zach Ewing and Jim Derry explained why on Monday’s show.
The Saints now have the best quarterback in the NFC South and one of the best in the NFC, with Derry defending Carr’s numbers with the Raiders and saying he’s set up for more success in New Orleans.
The show airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday and is sponsored by Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of The Advocate and Times-Picayune.
Odds for the Saints to win the Super Bowl dropped from +5000 to +3000 after the Carr news broke Monday morning, and they became the clear favorite to win the NFC South at +130 (down from +210). Derry said he thought there was value on the division odds even after the move.
Other topics of discussion included The Players Championship, one of the best tournaments of the year on the PGA Tour — and some tips on how to bet golf for rookies. Also discussed were the men’s SEC tournament odds and why there might be some value on longer shots like Ewing’s alma mater, Missouri.
The show airs live at 4 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays and is available on demand on the Bayou Bets YouTube page.
