Bayou Bets, Nov. 30: Talking Saints, Tulane, CFP, Heisman and Big Buck$

On a crazy, jam-packed Bayou Bets, weโ€™ll start with our Saints-Lions preview, make our way to Tulane-SMU in the AAC title game and the College Football Playoff predictions, as well as Heisman talk (Bo or Jayden?) and will finish it all off with our Big Buck$ picks and present the Turkey of the Week.

Now that the New Orleans Saints have squandered a chance to take hold of the NFC South, theyโ€™ll have to regroup and play each game as if itโ€™s the playoffs. The good news is they open a three-game homestand Sunday. The bad news is itโ€™s against the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions.

On Thursdayโ€™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 weโ€™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 weekendโ€™s title games, including Oregon vs. Washington and Georgia vs. Alabama.

Lastly, Jim and Thomas bring in Spencer โ€œThe Guruโ€ Urquhart and Gabe Henderson to offer their top five picks of the week on Big Buck$ and to find out which one of the crew gets to wear the โ€œTurkey of the Weekโ€ hat after eating all that Turkey Day food last week.

“Bayou Bets” is sponsored by , official odds partner of The Times-Picayune and ถถา๕h and airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday on the  (among other social media channels) and can be viewed on demand there anytime.
