Speaker 1 (00:00):
Every week you can find Lee Sterling on our show.
Thursdays at this time, ParamountSports.com. For years, he has helped
make us money on college and pro football.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
We have a few games to discuss. Lee is here now.
How are we doing, sir?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Great. I mean, I haven't felt this good. I think
it was a couple of years ago when Aaron Rodgers
got hurt in the first play of the game. And
I had written that game off and they somehow came
back that pass. the kid's name Gibson. I can't remember
his first name. He returns that punt for a touchdown.
I think I ran 75 of the 80 yards along
(00:38):
with him for that score. And last night I had,
I literally, I'm like, I am done third quarter lost.
Sam Darnold came back and won that one. I mean,
I'm playing with house money now.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Not a bad place to be with week one of
the NFL season approaching. Let's start in college, though. So
Texas and Ohio State both cover against Cupcakes.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Big numbers.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Rematch of a game last year in Columbus, 14-7 in
favor of OSU. This year, Longhorns a slight favorite. Who
do we like on Saturday night?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
That was my alma mater, Mo. So no more jokes
about Texas state, the rest of the way, just kidding. Actually,
believe it or not, they actually have really good offense.
They just turned it over and they might be a
play hint. I'm going to give you a free play
over Texas state UTSA over on that total. That's going
(01:34):
to go well above 66. That's a freebie. Now for
this game, I went back and watched a film again
of the game last year between Texas and Ohio State,
and Texas was living not only in the red zone,
inside the 10-yard line. They just couldn't score. So they
outstatted Ohio State 336-203. Problem was Steve Sarkeesian's play calling
(01:59):
was horrendous. The execution was horrible. So what did they do?
They were smart. They added Auburn stud wide receiver, six,
three cam Coleman in the portal. They added running back
Hollywood smothers from NC state. And these two guys in
the red zone are incredible. Hollywood smothers will make that
(02:20):
one cut and make the first Defender, Miss Camp Coleman, big, strong, fast,
might be the third best receiver in college football, just
behind Jeremiah Smith and Tony of Miami. And now Ryan Wingo,
who is her best receiver, who looks even better this year,
he can operate against the guy in the slot or
the number three cornerback. So I like Texas here. I
(02:43):
think they are better up front in the trenches. And
I think Ohio State was exposed last year against Miami
last Texas finally wins a big game, 27-21. All right,
you're not.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Making a lot of friends in my audience right now,
but maybe you'll make them some money. All right, let's
go to Monday night. Patrick Mahomes will play. Kansas City's
starting left tackle will not. The Chiefs, two-and-a-half-point favorites against Denver.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So Denver last year, everything went right. Every close game,
they won. They're going to be a team that I
think people are going to game plan for. Uh, Jim Waddle,
I think might have a big year, but I just don't,
I think eventually they're running back is going to be
Jonah Coleman. So if you're still, if you still haven't
(03:28):
drafted yet, or you can pick up someone or make
a trade, This kid Coleman from Washington, I think eventually
is going to be the guy. So I think Kansas
City kind of ekes out and is lucky they played
Denver early. People are saying, well, you know, Mahomes coming
off an ACL. Hey, it's not like an Achilles injury.
He knows what he can and can't do here. And
(03:49):
I also think that this Kansas City team, getting Kenneth–
I just think that Kenneth Walker is incredible. I mean,
look what he missed last, Seattle last night. If he's
in that lineup, I think they're much, much better. So
they're going to be better in the red zone. I'm
going to go with Kansas City. I think they win
(04:11):
in cover here, 27-20.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Paramount sports.com is the website. Lee Sterling is the guy,
the Bengals. I'm bullish on them, but.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's week one. We, we all were all aware of
their issues.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
They've had in recent years, week one, including on the
road last year against the Browns when they did win,
but needed a gift miss field goal by Cleveland to escape.
They're at home against the bucks three and a half
point favorites. Who do we like on Sunday?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
They're going to have to play better defense and protect
the quarterback, Dexter Lawrence. His arrival from the Giants, I think,
is going to be a big plus here. You know
Todd Bowles is going to bring it. He blitzes left
and right here. But I think, except for Ibuka, there's
not many guys on their offense to scare you here.
So I think this is a game that goes down
(04:57):
to the wire. It's not going to be easy. I
think Cincinnati wins the game 27-26, but Tampa Bay plus
a three-and-a-half cover. I believe all... five or four of
the last five last year games down the stretch, which
they lost all of them, all of them, four points.
So why not? Cincinnati wins Tampa Bay covers. All right.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Hopefully less controversy involving a Michigan game. The Wolverines will
fall out of the top 25 after what happened in
an Arbor on a Saturday, a level up in competition
against Oklahoma, the Sooners five and a half point favorites.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
They want to get the game for free. Just call 800-400-9741.
That's right. I'm going to give them the big Michigan-Oklahoma game, 800-400-9741.
And how about this, Mo? I've never done this before.
Tonight's game. That's right. Tonight's game in Australia, Rams and
49ers 1-0. Never this cheap. $ 1. We're 7-2 to start
(05:57):
the season. Won 32 of the last 33 years. And
also tomorrow night's game, the border war, Missouri and Kansas, $ 1.
And the UFC card on Saturday, five selections. It starts
at 2 o'clock. UFC Noche from Phoenix, five selections, $ 1.
$ 3 is all you need to invest for an entire
(06:20):
weekend of action and Just one place, ParamountSports.com.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
800-400-9741, ParamountSports.com. Lee, you're the man. I will talk to
