Is Saints recent success real or fool’s gold? What about Rams? Watch Tuesday’s ‘Bayou Bets’

Following a three-game homestand, the Black and Gold head out on a two-game run that will define the season, playing at

Tampa Bay on New Year’s Eve and in Hollywood during a short week.

Without a doubt, the New Orleans Saints are playing some of their finest football of the year.

Try not to think that the wins have come against the poorest teams in the NFC, the New York

Giants and the Carolina Panthers.

Still, it was a successful homestand, and now it’s time to find out if this improvement is for real or just a bunch of fool’s gold.

They now will finish with a stretch of games that will define their season and potentially get some of the

Dennis Allen and Derek Carr haters back on board, as they travel to Los Angeles to play the Rams on a short week before finishing the season at Tampa Bay and home for Atlanta.

We talk all things talking saints on this week’s special Bayou Bets before some of the Bet.NOLA.com

staff heads out for a few days around Christmas. We’ll share our findings from last week’s Big Buck$

competition and discuss LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels’ decision to not play in the ReliaQuest

Bowl before calling it a night.

“Bayou Bets” airs live every Monday and Thursday at 4 p.m. on the “Bayou Bets”

YouTube channel (along with other NOLA.com social media channels), and may be viewed on demand at any time.

The show is sponsored by Caesars Sportsbook, the official odds partner of The Times-Picayune and The Advocate.
