It's time for our weekly visit with gambling expert Lee Sterling.
No Paramount Sports brought to you by bail Breaker Brewing,
wherevery hop has grown in the Yakama Valley. Family owned
bold and proudly Pacific Northwest grabbed their flagship Top Cutter IPA,
a citrusy, pine forward classic at your local grocery store
or visit tap rooms in Seattle. And yeack'me on now
(00:22):
with Lee Sterling. Here's Suffi and dial all right, here
we go.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
A chance to make a couple of coins for the weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
By the way, don't bet on anything until you hear
from our friend Lee Sterling, who is a four and
six in his last couple of weeks on the air,
but preceded that by a four weeks sixteen and four
run and we think he is due to get back
on the bus. Twenty two seventeen and one overall on
the air. Not bad for Lee Sterling from Paramount Sports,
(00:51):
who joins us now on the air. How are you man?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I'm okay hanging in there now. You guys went through
a tough week. Unfortunately we've texting.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Makes criminal character didn't know any of that stuff. Yeah,
now your mom. Horrible news, horrible. How was she doing
by the way.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yep, not great, not great. So at least we got
her back to her retirement place and she's resting. But
you know, it's tough tough to tell tell your mother
she has cancer. So rough rough week.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, Well we were with you, man. I've met your
mom multiple times. She is a sweetheart of a lady,
even more so for having put up with you her
entire life.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So we love her to death, and you give her
a hug from us. All right, man, I will thank you. Well,
let's get to some pics. This week.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Indiana is back at home in Bloomington. UCLA's rolling. The
Bruins are getting twenty one and a half. Does the
does the Bruin hype train keep rolling or come to
a screeching halt this Saturday in Bloomington?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
How about this? Since we sent you the list of
the lines, this mine is blossomed up all the way
to twenty five five and a half points. So think
Indian is good, But they don't play real fast. There's
still bottom fifteen in pace of play. I think they're
gonna have score in seventy five to eighty percent of
their possessions if they want to cover this number. I
(02:14):
think UCLA is an absolutely different team now, like the
fact Jerry new high school obviously you know his father
quite well, taking a lot of input from players, and
Nico is rolling Indiana wins forty two to twenty one.
Ruins cover all right? All right?
Speaker 5 (02:29):
The old rivalry game in the Big Ten, Michigan giving
fourteen and a half at Michigan State.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Who do you like so.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
This line if Michigan would have lost, so they win
by maybe a field goal or a touchdown last week
and Michigan State plays a little bit better over the
last month, doesn't lose four straight. They did cover three
of the four, though this line would be probably eight
and a half nine, it's now fourteen and a half points.
One of the biggest rivalry here. I know Michigan State
(03:02):
defense has been awful, giving up six point two yards
per play thirty two points per game. They rank one
hundred and nineteenth overall. But defense is about hustle and emotion.
I think the crowd is going to fuel this game.
That Jonathan Smith didn't know what it was all about
last year, I think he's got a good idea now.
(03:22):
I think They've got a quarterback that can push the
ball down the field some I think this game goes
down to the wire. Michigan wins this game here thirty
twenty four, and I'm taking Michigan State. Hint, hint. That's
one of the games for my clients.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I love it takes party in the points against the
Wolverines dub Illinois tomorrow. Husky Stadium could be rainy, could
be windy. Huskies might be getting some linemen back. They're
giving four and a half against the Allaini tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yep. Then I needed a bye week after a sound
beating at the hands of Ohio State. Washington gets to
return here home after scoring just seven points at Michigan.
Huskies haven't allowed more than twenty four points in a
game this season thanks to that great pass defense. And
I think they can match up with Illinois passing strength
(04:10):
here and they get him a long down in distant situations.
I think we're gonna get some turnovers here. Dog's thirty
four a line I twenty four. There we go.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
That's what we want to hear, all right.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
To the NFL Packers giving three in Pittsburgh against Daron Rodgers,
the old Rogers rivalry game.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
What do you like?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
All right? So other than Michael Parsons, I don't see
a whole lot I like on this Green Bay defense.
And opening week they were great against Detroit they punched
him in the mouth, but since then not much I like.
Also Jordan Love. Don't think he's clicking on all cylinders.
I don't think they have a true number one receiver
on defense. I think their cornerbacks are bottom five in
(04:54):
the NFL. I know Pittsburgh's offense hasn't totally been clicking
all all cylinders, But I think you're going to see
Aaron Rodgers ready to go here. He'll be studying a
lot of film getting ready for his old team here.
And I think the defense I think we're going to
see in an inspirational bunch. I think they have the
talent they should be playing at a higher level. And
(05:15):
Moncdonlin canon four as a home dog or a small favorite.
The last three seasons here a rural team favored Pittsburgh
went straight up four.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
All right, take Pittsburgh and the points against the Pac Texans.
We'll work with that two and a half point line.
Lee on this game. Texans at home given two and
a half against the Niners.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
The line for the Texans is horrific. I know that
the San Franz getting more and more guys back here,
but this is a home game and home field matters
to the Houston team here. Got some young receivers. Maybe
they can get going here. Maybe it's special teams is
the difference? Also, think that they're deeper, going to play
(06:01):
much much better here. San Francisco inter Division. Uh, they've
been money but playing teams out of the division been
money burners. Here. We're calling for the upset here. Wow,
Houston twenty to seventeen.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
San Francisco take Texas in the two and a half
over San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
How about the Broncos and the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
They're cleaning out the prize closet here Lee at work
at the iHeart Studios, and there's a bunch of Bronco
Buster T shirts that they're given away from simply Seattle,
from our rivalry with Denver back in the AFC West days.
So will the Cowboys be Bronco Busters mile high or
will Denver get the best of Dallas this weekend?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
All they need to do if they want to find
out called eight hundred four hundred nine seven one again
the number eight hundred four hundred nine seven four to one,
and anyone wants to hop on board? How about this?
The last five Sundays for our clients, we've gone five
and oh five and oh I've been oh forour and
one and four and one. We are twenty three and two.
(07:05):
It's called Lee's NFL Sunday Golden Ticket. Five games every
Sunday for four weeks, just one hundred and ninety seven dollars.
What are you waiting for? One place Paramount sports dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
All right, love it hey.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
By the way, just so we're clear on the on
the right pick here. You're taking the Texans to beat
the Niners and cover that two and a half.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Is that right? I am? Yep?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Got you? All right, Lee, you're the man. Best to
your mom. We'll talk soon, okay.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Thanks? Hey guys.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Lee Sterning with us. He likes UCLA and the points
against Indiana. Helects Michigan State to cover against Michigan Huskies,
to cover against Illinois, Pittsburgh, the Steelers to cover against
Green Bay, and the Texans to win and cover against
the forty nine ers. By the way, if you're waiting
for a bounce back on Factor fiction. We have a
glitch in the system, but we did get your pick,
(07:54):
all right. They are telling me behind the scenes, well,
there's a lot to worry about, but this is not
one of them. We did get your text and you're
all good to go if you texted factor fiction all right.
Are the Seahawks legit Super Bowl contenders out of the NFC?
Richard Sherman thinks they are. Is he crazy? We'll talk
about it next on ninety three three KJJRFM.
