Speaker 1 (00:00):
And Lee Sterling is with us now to handicap games
for US Collegen Pro and break them down and give
us this week's pick on the Panthers, Lee of course,
from Paramount Sports and Paramount sports dot Com.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hey Lee, what's going on? Man? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm good? You know, if the Panthers are smart, they
would have you on the field if they went a
home game. Afterwards that dance, I think it was your best.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yet the just saying you like that one?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Were you not offended by Fiddy in nothing but a
bikini top up top?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
No? No, I mean when you went thirty nothing, I
mean you gotta let it all go.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Did you like the additions of the people seem to
like the the jackets and the victory horny? Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah? Where? I won't know where you got them from?
Where'd you get the jackets from?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
We got we know a guy?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Okay, guy guy Lee? You know guy in La. Did
they show up in the Marshalls or Max?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
We got the Max.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I know you guys aren't spending more than twelve bucks.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
They cost more. They don't cost all that much, but
they were more than twelve bucks.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, you can't put a price on a good luck, Jacket,
though you really can't.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
All right, Lee, Well, let's do this. Let's get some
pics for the games.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Let's see what you think about some of these games,
and we'll end it as always with the Panthers pick.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And he's got a game of a week.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
He's got that Micael Parsons Bowl Packers and Cowboys as
his game of the week. Let's start with Duke and Syracuse.
Interesting game. Syracuse off this big win against Clemson. They're
at home against Duke, but Syracuse has a backup quarterback
in there, and Duke is a five point favorite.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
What do you think, Well, Duke likes to throw the
football and Syracuse can't defend the pass. In fact, third
to last out of one hundred and I think it's
now thirty fourteen, so they're only one hundred and thirty first,
So horrible match up here, Syracuse loss. They're starting quarterback
for the year, new starter Ricky Collins. His attempted only
(02:00):
twenty one passes in three seasons. I love Fran Brown.
I think he does a lot more with less. He
seems to be ascending, but I don't think he's going
to be an upstate New York prolong here duke thirty
seven to twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I don't want to tell a girl man I love him,
but Lee, I'm feeling sod.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You love that way right now?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Do you think he's also a good start, Lee, I'll
had the victory horn for him. That's a victory horns
right here. That's the saddest little horn. Now you need
a real horn, you need a Louis Armstrong horn. Lee,
what do you think of Georgia Bama in a massive
game in prime time tomorrow night? Georgia at home favored
by three? What's the play here?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So Georgia I don't think is near where they were
a couple of years ago. The points spreads will tell
you so. Since the first game of last year, they're
three twelve and one against the spread. Not good enough.
They did beat Tennessee, but I thought Tennessee was the
better team a couple of weeks ago. There was just
six or seven plays in that game. Just one of
(03:00):
them goes Tennessee's way they win the game. So sometimes
just not your day. I think most people thought this
line was gonna be three and a half four, But
I think people who wagering games are smart. The oddsmakers
set in these lines. I think they realized that maybe
it was an aberration that Alabama gave up two hundred
and thirty yards Tefeshu opening week running the football. I
(03:22):
do think that Alabama's trio receivers, which are I think
second best in the country, just behind Ohio State, are
going to do some damage on this Georgia defense here.
And I think this Georgia defense that's allowing just two
point seven yards for Kerry, they're gonna be tested also
because jam Miller's coming back for Alabama came favored and
(03:44):
an Alcola fantastic finish again Alabama twenty eight, twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Wow about that? How about that? All right?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Another big one in the SEC League? Ole Miss one
and a half point favorite at home against LSU.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
What do you say?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
So? I think ole Miss is all is really good.
And you know, sometimes what happens is you lose the
key player and find one maybe even better. I think
Trinidad Chambliss right now is better in the right answer
instead of Austin Simmons. So Austin Simmons two games, he
had two interceptions in each, and Triny shanmlis running the
(04:19):
football and throwing the football from Fiarris State is a winner.
The only thing is he's a senior, so no more
eligibility after this year. But the problem here for them
is their weakest link. I think Ole Missus defense is
the strongest of the four units, but LSU's defense in
and far behind. And I think Erictnssmeyer is going to
have a big game. This will be his breakout game
(04:41):
against the weakest link here, which is Ole Missus defense.
And I don't trust line Kiffin big games. He seems
to try to really push it here, and what he
tries to do is sometimes he falls behind by seven
to ten points, he starts going forward on fourth down.
Could be a problem here. I think class finally prevails
(05:02):
LSU thirty four to twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Well, let's go over some NFL games here, a big
one in the NFC Eagles three and a half point
favorites at Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay's all kinds of banged
up right now. What side are you on here?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah? So Tampa Bay's won six of the last seven
games against Philly, which is shocking. They won last year
thirty three sixteen. This will be the fifth straight time
that they've played that the game has been in Tampa,
so sometimes the scheduling dynamics are just strange. And last
year's game when Tampa won thirty three sixteen, no DeVonta Smith,
(05:37):
no AJ Brown. Now you know the wheels have turned,
and no Mike Evans, no Chris Godwin. Yet this year
the offensive line really banged up. Defensive line not close
to one hundred percent. And Philly just might be one
of those teams like Kansas City for a while. I
ultimately think they're gonna have trouble winning the super Bowl again,
(06:00):
but they're finding ways to win, and championship teams do that.
And I just think Baker Mayfield. We've heard of quarterbacks
having three straight great come from behind wins, but usually
not four. I think he's going to run out of
magic here, Philly twenty eight, twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Idly, let's see you everybody's hero. Last week you picked
the Panthers as a dog. Outright. They're a five and
a half point dog at New England. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So? Carolina got the job done for me last week?
Thirty nothing home division win. I thought they'd win, but
not by that much. How did they do it? You know?
Touchdown drive on a short field after a miss field
goal field goal, eleven yard interception TD return field goal
(06:46):
touchdown after interception in field goal. Only two hundred and
twenty four total yards on fifty five plates. Not great.
The Patriots had their own issues, and they're twenty one
to fourteen loss to Pittsburgh due to a large part
whopping five turnovers. So even with all that misfortune, Patriots
(07:06):
were tied with three minutes to go in the game.
The Patriots have a top three rushing defense and a
weakness in their past defense, and the Panthers, I don't
know if they can exploit it here. Bryce Young sixty
percent completion percentage is decent enough, but just five point
three yards per attempt not going to get it done.
(07:27):
This will be Carolina's third road trip in an early
four weeks season span. They lost both road games so far.
Hate to say it, hate the hated, dreaded Patriots. Twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Oh Man, dang Lee's working.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
He can't lie to us, Man, He's got to tell us.
He's got to tell us the truth, all right, Lee, Well,
let's uh, let's you can still help people win money,
all right?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
They could still love you for that.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You've got Packers and Cowboys as a game of the week,
and then you've got all your picks on the card
this week? How does everybody get ahold of stuff from you?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Great game? On Sunday night, we had a wedding. We
were invited to a wedding. Hadn't seen it my first
cousin Salt Lake City in probably eight ten years. As
my wife saw the invitation and she saw the schedule
games that I had on my pad next to the TV.
She's like, I'll send a nice gift. And I'm like,
thank you, you got some memo. So the three thirty window,
(08:28):
seven thirty window on Saturday, and then I mean other
than the Panthers game Philly Tampa, Baltimore, Casey and then
this game Packers Cowboys is insane. So you want to
get Packers Cowboys for free? Called eight hundred, four hundred
nine seven to one. In fact, I'm in such a
good mood, I'm going to give you South Carolina in Kentucky.
(08:50):
I'm calling it the future Fired Coaches Bowl. Whether loss
this game could be done, could be done? What do
you mean?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
What do you think Shane Baber's getting fired?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Look look at the rest of his schedule unless you Oklahoma, Alabama,
Ole Miss in Texas, A and M. They were right
number eleven two weeks ago. The expectations off the roof,
So that big a game for him? Can South Carolina
rebound or this Kentucky pull the upset? I'm going to
give you both games on me called eight hundred four
(09:26):
hundred nine seven four one first get this uh first
five callers get it for free eight hundred four hundred
nine seven for one. All the specials up and available.
Just use COUPONKO save one hundred. We are on a
six and oh roll since Sunday in the NFL. Just
one place Paramount sports dot Com.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You go.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Don't be arguing, Lee, he's working here. They'll be arguing
when I'm calling.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
We have a message for you, Lee, You the man,
good luck this week.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Know where he's going. Yeah, you know where he's going
if he's about to get fired Virginia text.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
It just made Bone even more upstick called again anyway,
it's Bone al alright, Lee, We appreciate you man, Lee
doing pix and then coming up in Beamer's kitchen Bony
having their glee.
Speaker 2 (10:14):

that way.
