We have waited seven long months since the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs here in the Superdome to become Super Bowl champions. It’s been even longer when talking about a meaningful New Orleans Saints game.
But the wait is over! It’s our first “Fun Friday” of the year, as Saints editor Zach Ewing joins host Jim Derry for a preview of the Saints, LSU vs. Louisiana Tech and Tulane vs. South Alabama on week-ending edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 411) presented by Evangeline Securities. Zach and Jim also will make their picks for all three of those games and the marquee games in the NFL this week: Chargers-Chiefs, Packers-Lions and Ravens-Bills.
And what would a Pick Em show be without our regular handicappers, as Gabe Henderson and Uncle Big Nick try to beat Jim in a new way to score our predictions. They each make their three best bets and have fun with it, and Jim talks a little about the NFL season opener on Thursday, as the Eagles squeaked past the Dallas Cowboys.

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.”
