(00:22):
now with Lee Sterling. Here's SUFFI and dial.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
By the way, real quick, if you did enter a
pick in Factor Fiction did not get a bounce back,
don't worry.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
We all got you covered.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
You're taking care of Apparently the text machine that we
use here only gives us a certain number of bounce
back messages a week, as far as an allotment, and
we've already used our allotment for the week because of
a record number of entries in Factor Fiction. So we
are the show that gets left holding the bag.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Here.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
It has to go on the air and manually actually
tell you with our own voices that your voice that
your votes will be counted. So and we also get
the last pick that's right, yeah yeah, And we're still
doing well, by the way, leading and imagine if we
had the opportunity that the morning show has, how good
we would be every day.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
With that opportunity.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
But if you, if you, if you did enter a
factor of fiction pick and did not get to bounce
back pick, don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
We got you covered all right.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Here he is from Paramount Sports two and three a
week ago, but still thirty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
And one on the air.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Not bad for our friend lye Sterling from Paramount Sports
in South Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Lee, how are you, man?

Speaker 4 (01:27):
I'm okay, pretty good. Just cut off the treadmill and
get a little bit tougher every single year.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, I was gonna tell you last time I saw
you're getting kind of chubby. So I'm glad that you're
jumping on the trail. Bill, by the way, so yeah,
really really proud of you. We're trying to shed that
that baby fat pal. All right, let's get to it.
USC at home at the Coliseum, hosting the Iowa Hawkeys.
Coming off a hard fought game against the Ducks on Saturday,
Trojans are given six and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
What do you see there at the coliseum?

Speaker 4 (01:58):
A lot of rain one hundred percent chance of rain
for this game tomorrow. I loved USC when the line
came out, loved them before I saw the fordcast, still
liked them. King Miller and Wayman Jordan have combined forever
twelve hundred rushing yards ten touchdowns, averaging between seven point
nine and six point five yards per carry. And what

(02:19):
makes this defense different than all other years? Last year
just twenty one sacks. This year they're averaging almost three
sacks per game and an interception per game. I mean,
who knows where Iowa is after that crushing loss us
He has been great at home five and oh straight
up four and one against the spread. The only time
that they didn't cover was at Michigan State bomb seventy

(02:40):
five yard bomb with two minutes to go in the game,
or else they'd be a perfect five and oh against
the spread. Sometimes you gotta low it if you want
to play it. USC twenty eight to seventeen.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Got it all right.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Oregon got a scare last week and Kennick, but they're
back home taken on Minnesota, but they are given a
big number minus twenty five and a half for the Duckies.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I think the better line here might be to take
the first half line, but We'll still go with Oregon.
Full game here. Minnesota was off paying attention, but you
know how much can that help them? They just don't
have any guys here they can break a tackle and
go the distance. The only thing maybe giving them a
chance to keep the game down bottom five pace of play,

(03:26):
getting off just fifty seven plays per game. But I
think the Ducks will be just too much. They hit
on big plays, even with some of those injuries on offense, Ducks,
they're forty one, Minnesota thirteen, gotcha?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
So take the Ducks and give the points man, all right,
you dub Purdue.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Purdue has lost sixteen consecutive Big Ten Conference games. The
last time Purdue won a conference game, Pete Carroll was
still almost two months away from being fired by the
Seahawks as their head coach. That's how long it's been
since they won a conference game. Huskies are back home,
they're angry after getting beat by Wisconsin Saturday. They're given

(04:09):
sixteen and a half. What do you think if they lose?

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Are you going to walk all the way to Purdue? No? If?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
No, If they lose this game, I just might take
Monday off.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
To be honest with you yeah, okay, all right, we
well deserve but I think they're gonna be fine here.
I mean, they win that game by two three touchdowns
last week if the conditions are decent. Jed Fish, I
think put the hammer down. Looks like most of the
starters will be back on offense, and Purdue they just
can't stop big plays here another Sometimes you got to

(04:44):
want to lay it, you got to play it here.
I think Williams has a big game here at quarterback.
I think Washington wins this game forty five to ten.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Okay, all right, to the NFL.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
One of the two big games in the NFC, this
one coming on Sunday night football. Eagles sting the Lions,
the Eagles giving up two and a half points.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
So you like that game was ugly last Monday night. Horrible,
but still you go on the road and you win
a game. Ugly on the road is versus a winning
opponent is still a good thing. Eagles scored only ten points.
I think the advantage here is to go against Detroit cornerback.
So I'm expecting the AJ Brown. I think they're going

(05:24):
to pass by him, get him the ball. You can't
single cover this guy here, so he has a big
game here, and I think Dan Campbell gonna be up
against it here with this Philly defensive front now with
Jalen Phillips added from Miami. So I like Philly. Let's
go with Philly twenty seven to twenty. That's Troy all Right.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Game of the week Ram Seahawks seven and two versus
seven and two. Whoever wins takes control of the NFC West.
What do you think Rams are now giving three and
a half at home against the Hawks, and.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Whoever wins this game of quarterback could be the early leader,
you know for the possible MVP. Sam Darnold nine point
nine yards per past a tenth full yard better than
Drake May who's an eight point nine. And Seattle's two
losses against San Francisco and Tampa Bay lad with left
in two minutes left in that game, I think the

(06:18):
key here is to put the heat on Stafford thirteen touchdowns,
no interceptions, last three games. He's only been sacked three
times in three games Seattle thirty two sacks and nine
games they get three or more sacks. I predict they
win the game for Seattle. Since the Rams thirty to

(06:38):
twenty six.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I love it all right in your game of the
week Cardinals and San Francisco in Glendale.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
As usual. You got sutting up your sleeve, don't you leeve?

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Ah wes do first five callers get it for free?
Call eight hundred four hundred nine to seven to one
getting the game for free. Eight hundred four hundred nine
seven four one. We have been rid hot in the NFL.
We have my Sunday Golden ticket went four and one
for our clients last Sunday. We're now thirty one and

(07:09):
nine the last eight weeks equals out to seventy eight percent,
almost four and one every single week. You want to
hop on board one hundred and ninety seven dollars five
selections every single Sunday for the next four weeks. Just
one place Paramount sports dot Com.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
All right, Lee, you're the man, great stuff. We appreciate
this and we will talk in a week, my friend,
Thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Okay, okay, all right, Lee Sterling.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
He likes the Trojans to cover against Iowa. He likes
Oregon minus the points against Minnesota at augsin Huskies barry
Purdue and cover Eagles cover against the Lions. And he
likes the Seahawks plus the points the three and a
half against the Rams. By the way, just doing some
quick math, one hundred dollars parlay on all five of
those outcomes pays.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Twenty two hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
So if you think Lee's about to have a perfect wait,
he's due to go five and oh he is absolutely
has he had a perfect week.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
Yet he does not have an ozho to five and
he does not have a five and oh he has everything.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Else there you go, well, one hundred dollars pays twenty
two hundred bucks man.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
This might be the week that Lee Stirling pulls it off.
What the hell?

Speaker 2 (08:16):

eyes and hang on, We're gonna break Lindsey theory who
