Let the record show that Tyler Shough will make his first NFL start –when the New Orleans Saints travel to take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Is there a tougher place to begin the Shough era? What do we expect? Do the Saints have a chance to win? And what about the comments from Gov. Jeff Landry saying that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward won’t play a role in picking the Tigers’ next coach? Did he go a step too far? NOLA.com Saints editor and Times-Picayune / Advocate assistant sports editor Zach Ewing joins host Jim Derry for his weekly visit, on a special Thursday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 434) presented by Evangeline Securities. Zach and Jim will make their predictions for the Saints and Tulane, which plays Thursday night at Texas-San Antonio. Also, fans will have their say and have a chance to make 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 9 and CFB Week 10, and our meteorologist Damon Singleton has the Dat Weather forecast for our teams. 1:25:10 Gabe, UBN, Jim Best Bets 1:50:14 Final thoughts To be a sponsor of Dattitude, contact Jim at jderry@theadvocate.com to see our current pricing and options, including segment sponsors and “friends of the show.” The Dattitude Podcast, which is always free to subscribe and listen, is streamed regularly each Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings live at 11 a.m. and on demand on the Dattitude YouTube page, the NOLA.com Facebook page, as well as other many of our other social media locations.
