There’s no question the New Orleans Saints have a little added oomph behind their sails this week as they travel to Chicago to play the Bears and former coach Dennis Allen. Meanwhile, there are some distractions, as the rumor mill swirls around Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave and whether they will be traded.
Any of those rumors true? NOLA.com Saints editor and Times-Picayune / Advocate assistant sports editor Zach Ewing joins host Jim Derry for his weekly visit to talk about it on another “Fun Friday” edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 429) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also will talk about whether one should listen to the chatter around the LSU Tigers being an underdog at Vanderbilt.
Zach and Jim will make their predictions for the Saints, LSU and Tulane, and they will hear from fans, who also make their 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 7 and CFB Week 8, and our meteorologist Damon Singleton has the Dat Weather forecast for where our teams are playing this weekend.

Dattitude premiered in September 2021 to cover what’s important to sports fans in south Louisiana. While we focus on the Saints, we also talk plenty about the Pelicans, LSU, Tulane, prep, sports betting, fantasy sports, and all the big-time sports events happening in and around New Orleans.
Host Jim Derry brings more than 33 years of experience covering sports in the region, and he’ll “always tell you the way it is…or at least the way he thinks it is.”
