The NFL schedule isn’t officially announced until Wednesday night, but we have the inside scoop on who, when and where the Saints will lineup throughout the 2024 season. (And it ain’t pretty.)

That’s the main focus for Jim Derry, as he welcomes in ‘Inside New Orleans’ show host Eric Asher on Wednesday’s (Ep. 239) . They will go through and talk about the toughest matchups and the waters the Saints will need to navigate through to have a successful campaign. Also, we ask Eric his thoughts on the addition of quarterback Spencer Rattler.

On the 'Extra Point,' Jim looks back 6 years to when the US Supreme Court struck down a rule that outlawed sports gambling, leaving it up to the states to decide. Was that a good thing or bad?
