(00:23):
with Lee Sterling, here's SUFFI and did all right?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well, everything good must come to an end and a
sixteen and four run Red Hot ended last week with
a two and three week for Lee Sterling, eighteen and
seven in his last five weeks on the year. I'll
sign up for that day of the week. And here
he is, our man from Paramount Sports in South Florida,
Lee Sterling, how are you pal?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I'm good. In fourteen minutes, my cane, strap it up
and let's see if they can dominate and make it
to the college football playoff and get a bye. That's
what the hope is here.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well, let's start there, four o'clock kickoff here in Seattle,
seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You're in time.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Miami is at fourteen and a half or thirteen and
a half.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
What's the number now, dirt, what's actually down to ten
and a half?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Right now as we speak, let's go totals down to Okay,
I'm going to take a different approach to this game.
We're going to play the total here. I think this
Louisville team has weapons all over the field. Now, the
quarterback does throw some interceptions, but that can be good
for a total too. They got a quarterback in Miller
Moss says, you're very familiar with from USC. If you
(01:35):
get pressure on his face, he'll throw some interceptions. Running
Back Kid Brown from Miami looks like he'll be able
to go. He's been banged up. There are two receivers,
Bell and Lacy every bit as good as what Miami
has here. So I think Miami's going to score on
this defensive front here. Also Louisville early and often, maybe
even on special teams. Here, we're going over forty nine
(01:56):
and a half total points. Wouldn't shock me if it
goes over by the end of third quarter.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Wow, got it, Ley, We're looking at a big one
in the Big House tomorrow nine am our time. Washington
getting six at Michigan if the Huskies win this game.
They are i'll a legit CFP contender.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Who do you like? Yeah, And I think they've got
a chance to do it here. I was watching the
Michigan game again, and I think you can run stunts
on their offensive line. I think you can also on
offense use your tight end and he should have some
success going down the seam. And I think this Michigan
(02:32):
team is probably gonna play better. Didn't tackle well last week,
but I think the game plan is here. I mean,
a couple of teams have exploited them on defense and
so you can attack them on top of that, They've
already lost two games here, and I think this Washington
offense is starting to get it in the high gear.
I know they have not won a game going east
(02:52):
from west to east here, but I think it's time here.
Run team favored here. I'm going with a I think
to get the job done. Twenty eight twenty five.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
They beat Maryland by the way two weeks ago, just
so you know you do, that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Didn't cover, didn't cover? Yeh, didn't they right?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But they got the win. So a little more confident,
But we would like the Huskies to win and cover
and that'll be their first win, by the way since
Hugh Millan led the Huskies to victory there forty one
years ago. All Right, NFL Rams on the road at
the Jaguars and they're given three.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
What do you think, I think without Pookam, I think
there's problems there two and four against the spread, and
think that right now Jacksonville the offensive line has come together.
Last year, they probably had three guys that were NFL
caliber starting offensive lineman and right now they've got seven
(03:46):
or eight. Also, the Rams faced two backup quarterbacks the
last two weeks, so I think Jacksonville's the right side here.
Another wrong team favored Jacksonville twenty four to twenty forty
nine ers.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I don't know if there's anybody's they'll left playing for them,
but they're going to suit up against the Falcons forty
nine ers minus two. Actually given points to Atlanta because
it's in Santa Clara.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
What do you think, Well, Atlanta has something great either,
except for when they're playing at home and they're playing
a team they usually can dominate. But they get it
done last week. You know, the key here is kid
on person and I think both will be back and
if they're both back. I think they're going to have
a chance to be able to do some damage here
against this Atlanta secondary. So they were sky high Atlanta
(04:31):
give them credit last week, but traveling to the West
Coast has not been one of their best suits. Here,
let's go with San Francisco. Hart fought went here twenty three,
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
All right, get the job done. Cover the spread. Seahawks
Monday Night against the Texans. We used to be able
to count on Pete Carroll being sensational in primetime at Luminfield. Well,
since Mike McDonald has taken over as the Seahawks head coach,
Lee the Seahawks are ten and one on the road,
but they're four and eights at Loomin Field, which is wild.
(05:03):
What do you see happening on Monday night? Seahawks given
three and a half against Houston.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, and the Texans entered this game off of the
bye after back to back wins against so two of
the worst teams in the league in Tennessee and Baltimore
because they were without Lamar Jackson to combined two to
ten record. The Seahawks four and two straight up number
three though in the NFC in points scored twenty seven
(05:29):
point seven, number three in the NFC in scoring defense
nineteen point five points per game. Last year, Sam Darnold
played this Houston defense when he was with Minnesota. Four touchdowns,
no interceptions. I think that familiarity will really help them
here in this game. Houston offensive line just one of
the worst we've seen, one of the worst three or
four in the NFL. Seahawks finally get it right at
(05:51):
home twenty seven to twenty one.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Ah Your game of the week. Notre Dame USC used
to be a gigantic game in college football. Is it
still a gigantic game in college football?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah? I mean both teams could work their way into
the College Football Playoff. I mean not like he got
Reggie Bush or anything like that, or Matt Lionerd or
Joe Montana playing in the game. But still two quality teams.
I think should be a fun game. You want to
get the game for free. Eight hundred four hundred nine
seven for one again the number eight hundred, four hundred
(06:24):
nine seven, four to one and over the last Saturday
and Sunday. The last four weeks, we've had four straight
winning weeks. On the weekend. You want to hop on board.
Check out all the specials Paramount sports dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Lee, You're the man, great stuff. Enjoy the Miami game tonight.
We're talking a week Thanksley.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Okay, guys, all right?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
At least Turning likes the over in tonight's Miami Louisville game.
He likes the Huskies and the points against Michigan they
win straight up twenty eight to twenty. He likes the
Jaguars plus the points against the Rams, the Niners minus
the two against Atlanta, and the Seahawks to cover and
win against the Texans on Monday nights. Monday, We're gonna
be here, by the way, Jimmy's from two to three thirty,
(07:03):
because Ean's got hockey, dude. He we got cracking obviously
on Monday. And I mean, look, you talk about how
much little attention there is being paid to the Huskies,
how about the freaking game on Monday night?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Pal, I mean, I I don't know if there's been
this big of an emotional swing over a seventy two
hour period that we could see. I mean, we could
see a Husky team with a win at Michigan and
a shot at the CFP, A Seahawks team that goes
to five and two and a Mariner team that.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Goes to the World Series.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Or we could see a situation where it's the opposite,
and I don't even want to talk about the opposite,
but think.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
About where we're at.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
If all three of those things happen positively, or all
three of those things happen negative
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That's gonna break what we got, Petros, Is that right,
Petros Papadakas, we'll join coming up next on ninety three
to three KJRFM.
