It's time for our weekly visit with gambling expert Lee Sterling.

store or visit Deep Rooms in Seattle and Yekamon. Now
(00:23):
with Lee Sterling, here's SUFFI and deal.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
All right, Well, this son of a bitch was four
and one last week on the radio show, but it
was not the four and one we were looking for.
If he just could have gotten me through Sunday morning,
we could have hedged and we could have made a
couple of bucks. Instead, he blows the usc game and
a hedge dream fizzled out, Dick on Saturday night. Yeah,
(00:47):
but a good weekend, nevertheless, very good four and one
on the week thirty four, twenty five and one overall,
and he joins us again from Paramount Sports in South Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
How are you, pale?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I'm all right, another Friday, three fridays in a row.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
My website got hacked, my bank account got hacked, and
this weekend, Twitter got hacked.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Wow, are you behind it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, maybe if you changed your password every decade, you'd
stop getting your stuff hacked. And by the way, next
time you want to go four and one, can you
go in the proper order? By the way, so we
can hedge.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
For God's sakes, I'll try. So I should change my password.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
It shouldn't be Canes two thousand and one best team ever.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah no, bar mitzvah boy eighty five doesn't work anymore either,
right yamaka face.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Gino Tretta for Heisman.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Get rid of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well, let's go to the games this week, thirty four
to twenty five and one overall. After a four and
one week Oregon at home against USC the Ducks are
given nine and a half. And I agree with what
Rick new Heizel said yesterday on the radio show this
this is essentially a playoff game for both these teams.
If either team has any aspiration of being in the postseason,
they better plan on winning tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I would agree with that. So here here's what I
see in USC. I mean the conditions last football, but now.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
We got to put them back on hold. Lee, I
got to cut you off your phone's breaking up. You
selling like a Jiffy pop machine or something like that.
So why don't we get him figured out? Find out
what the hell is going on there? We don't typically
have this problem with Lee. By the way, do we
do we like give the phone company? Just like do
we pay and trade with the phone company? Do they
get like gift cards? Like RAM gift cards? And there's
(02:37):
only so far the phone company will go like, hey,
if you go past Oklahoma, you go past Dallas, you
got to give us a couple extra bucks. Man, This
stuff drives me freaking nuts.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Are we sure that Oregon loses and they're out?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's why I'm not positive. But with their schedule it's
so lame.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I've played nobody's game theydave.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
They're not going to have a real great resume if
they lose two games, they're not going to have a
real great case to make the final, to make the playoff.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Man.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So that's the point that rig new heisl made yesterday,
and I totally agree. I think, look, clearly USC is
out because all three losses, right, and if Oregon's out,
they'll have two losses. I'm not a great resume. So
I think if you're the Oregon Ducks. You better damn
well playing on winning tomorrow. All right, Lee's back with us.
We got us phone fix where all did to go
Ducks minus the nine and a half against USC, go
(03:25):
so USC.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Last couple of years.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Charmansoft on defense this year against five pretty tough teams
in the trenches Iowa, Notre Dame, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern won
four of the five games. I think the difference here
for this Oregon team is three of the top four
receivers they projected coming into camp are not playing right now,
(03:49):
and they just can't take the top off the defense.
Get those your easy scores. They used to, you know,
score in two three plays, get up fourteen twenty one
to zhing, game over.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
But now they're having to drive eight.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
To twelve fourteen plays, more chances for penalties, more chances
for turnovers. I think Oregon find the way to win.
I think they hold on here twenty eight, twenty five.
But I think nine a half points is way too much.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Got a good game, Well, Washington should be better than UCLA,
should beat Ucla. But Lee, we've seen a lot of
better Washington teams go to the Rose Bowl and lose
to lesser UCLA teams. Washington's given ten and a half.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Well, at least they're not traveling east here, and I
like the fact getting some young kids on the field.
Jordan Washington look really good. Dave and I were texting
about him. I'd even put the kid in a slot.
I mean, he's a guy that he can you know,
he can score in one play. You need guys like that,
(04:50):
even some young receivers starting to work their way in here. Ucla.
The turnovers here, and they can't hit on big plays here.
The special teams haven't been great. I liked the dogs here.
I think they win and cover here thirty eight to seventeen,
all right.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That would be big. They haven't done something like that
against UCLA down there in a long long time.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
How about the NFL Niners minus seven back at home
against Carolina, I believe on Monday night football San Francisco,
right there in the seventh seed. I mean, hell, they
haven't played real well and not a lot of people
were talking about them. But if they win this one,
they were an eight and four football team.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So how about the Niners given points against Carolina Monday?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, so brock perty obviously's back Bryce Young, I mean
he got banged up in that game last week, but still.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Through for four forty eight.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
His receivers are making plays here finally, and their defense,
I mean they were dead last last year, middle of
the pack this year. I think this line's too high.
I mean, so many games are you know, end on three, four,
six and seven. Winning by more than than one touchdown
is tough here, even against the team that.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Hasn't traveled well historically.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I think the forty nine Ers win the game here
twenty four to twenty one, but their past rush doesn't
scare them anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Cancers cover the Rams coming off the win. Despite being
really outplayed by Seattle. The Rams get the victory, and
they've been as impressive as anybody, but they are given
a lot of points at home to the Bucks a
full touchdown of seven yep.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And another game here the Bucks. You know, they they
play well, they travel well, I mean thirteen and.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Five until last week.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I think that they got an easy road after this game,
maybe the easiest schedule. So guys are starting to get healthy.
We saw three more players including Higbey, get injured here.
They're not going to be playing for a while. For
the Rams. That was one of their safety valves. Here
for Stafford Baker, Mayfield hadn't done anything in a while.
He finally takes him down to the wire, and it's
(06:54):
about time he pulls the upset here Baker Baker, the
touchdown maker Tampa Bay pulls off the shucker here twenty
five to twenty three.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
If that happens and the Hawks are in position to
get right back in it in the NFC West, they
would tie the Rams at that point. The Rams would
still have the tiebreaker with the win last week, but
they could tie him in the win column if they
can do the impossible. And let's go to Nashville and
beat the Low Lea Tennessee Titans. And we looked at
up Lee have nine nine total touchdowns on the entire.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Year, nine times nine times.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Nine thirteen and a Half's a big number on the road, though.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Lee, what do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Camb Warred only six touchdown passes, no games with more
than one touchdown pass here Seattle, I mean Sam Donald
plays average. They win the game by double digits last week.
We all know that Titans fewest points in the league
fourteen point three. They shouldn't have a win. I think
Seattle's going to lay it on him. Sometimes you gotta
(07:57):
lay it if you want to play it. Seahawk forty
one ten.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Wow, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Game of the week Bears Pittsburgh. That's a good one.
And you got something up your sleeve as always, don't you, big.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Boy, something up both sleeves here. I love this game. Here.
You want to get Bears surprising seven and three, Steelers
looking to play Boilers and maybe getting the playoffs. Two.
Speaker 4 (08:21):

four hundred nine seven four one. We own Sundays thirty three,
eleven and one.
Speaker 3 (08:28):

seven dollars Paramount Sports dot Com.
Speaker 3 (08:39):

Speaker 2 (08:40):

seven o'clock coming up tonight, Lee, you're the man, great stuff,
and we'll.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Talk somebody all right, thanks guys, All right.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Lie Sterling. He likes usc to cover against Oregon, Huskies
to cover against UCLA. He likes Carolina plus the seven
against the Niners. Tampa to win outright against the Rams
and cover the Hawks. Given the thirteen and a half
against the Titans, I know we gotta break real quick.
Teresa Walker ap in Nashville will join next segment. Have
you guys see the next four games for the Niners,
by the way, our next three games Carolina, the Browns,
(09:11):
and Tennessee. That's who they play in their next three
games and they're seven and four.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Gotta hold them off. We do.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
All right, Well, this son of a bitch was four
and one last week on the radio show, but it
was not the four and one we were looking for.
If he just could have gotten me through Sunday morning,
we could have hedged and we could have made a
couple of bucks. Instead, he blows the usc game and

(00:47):
but a good weekend, nevertheless, very good four and one

and he joins us again from Paramount Sports in South Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
How are you, pale?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I'm all right, another Friday, three fridays in a row.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
My website got hacked, my bank account got hacked, and

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Wow, are you behind it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, maybe if you changed your password every decade, you'd

time you want to go four and one, can you
go in the proper order? By the way, so we
can hedge.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
For God's sakes, I'll try. So I should change my password.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
It shouldn't be Canes two thousand and one best team ever.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah no, bar mitzvah boy eighty five doesn't work anymore either,
right yamaka face.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Gino Tretta for Heisman.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Get rid of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well, let's go to the games this week, thirty four
to twenty five and one overall. After a four and
one week Oregon at home against USC the Ducks are
given nine and a half. And I agree with what
Rick new Heizel said yesterday on the radio show this
this is essentially a playoff game for both these teams.
If either team has any aspiration of being in the postseason,
they better plan on winning tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I would agree with that. So here here's what I
see in USC. I mean the conditions last football, but now.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
We got to put them back on hold. Lee, I
got to cut you off your phone's breaking up. You
selling like a Jiffy pop machine or something like that.
So why don't we get him figured out? Find out
what the hell is going on there? We don't typically
have this problem with Lee. By the way, do we
do we like give the phone company? Just like do
we pay and trade with the phone company? Do they
get like gift cards? Like RAM gift cards? And there's
(02:37):
only so far the phone company will go like, hey,
if you go past Oklahoma, you go past Dallas, you
got to give us a couple extra bucks. Man, This
stuff drives me freaking nuts.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Are we sure that Oregon loses and they're out?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's why I'm not positive. But with their schedule it's
so lame.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I've played nobody's game theydave.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
They're not going to have a real great resume if
they lose two games, they're not going to have a
real great case to make the final, to make the playoff.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Man.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So that's the point that rig new heisl made yesterday,
and I totally agree. I think, look, clearly USC is
out because all three losses, right, and if Oregon's out,
they'll have two losses. I'm not a great resume. So
I think if you're the Oregon Ducks. You better damn
well playing on winning tomorrow. All right, Lee's back with us.
We got us phone fix where all did to go
Ducks minus the nine and a half against USC, go
(03:25):
so USC.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Last couple of years.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Charmansoft on defense this year against five pretty tough teams
in the trenches Iowa, Notre Dame, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern won
four of the five games. I think the difference here

Get those your easy scores. They used to, you know,

to zhing, game over.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
But now they're having to drive eight.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
To twelve fourteen plays, more chances for penalties, more chances
for turnovers. I think Oregon find the way to win.
I think they hold on here twenty eight, twenty five.
But I think nine a half points is way too much.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Got a good game, Well, Washington should be better than UCLA,
should beat Ucla. But Lee, we've seen a lot of
better Washington teams go to the Rose Bowl and lose
to lesser UCLA teams. Washington's given ten and a half.
Speaker 4 (04:29):

right there in the seventh seed. I mean, hell, they

they were an eight and four football team.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So how about the Niners given points against Carolina Monday?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, so brock perty obviously's back Bryce Young, I mean
he got banged up in that game last week, but still.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Through for four forty eight.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
His receivers are making plays here finally, and their defense,
I mean they were dead last last year, middle of
the pack this year. I think this line's too high.
I mean, so many games are you know, end on three, four,
six and seven. Winning by more than than one touchdown
is tough here, even against the team that.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Hasn't traveled well historically.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I think the forty nine Ers win the game here
twenty four to twenty one, but their past rush doesn't
scare them anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Cancers cover the Rams coming off the win. Despite being
really outplayed by Seattle. The Rams get the victory, and
they've been as impressive as anybody, but they are given
a lot of points at home to the Bucks a
full touchdown of seven yep.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And another game here the Bucks. You know, they they
play well, they travel well, I mean thirteen and.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Five until last week.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I think that they got an easy road after this game,
maybe the easiest schedule. So guys are starting to get healthy.
We saw three more players including Higbey, get injured here.
They're not going to be playing for a while. For
the Rams. That was one of their safety valves. Here
for Stafford Baker, Mayfield hadn't done anything in a while.
He finally takes him down to the wire, and it's
(06:54):
about time he pulls the upset here Baker Baker, the
touchdown maker Tampa Bay pulls off the shucker here twenty

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
If that happens and the Hawks are in position to
get right back in it in the NFC West, they
would tie the Rams at that point. The Rams would
still have the tiebreaker with the win last week, but
they could tie him in the win column if they
can do the impossible. And let's go to Nashville and
beat the Low Lea Tennessee Titans. And we looked at
up Lee have nine nine total touchdowns on the entire.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Year, nine times nine times.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Nine thirteen and a Half's a big number on the road, though.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Lee, what do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Camb Warred only six touchdown passes, no games with more
than one touchdown pass here Seattle, I mean Sam Donald
plays average. They win the game by double digits last week.
We all know that Titans fewest points in the league
fourteen point three. They shouldn't have a win. I think
Seattle's going to lay it on him. Sometimes you gotta
(07:57):
lay it if you want to play it. Seahawk forty
one ten.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Wow, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
