  Speaker 1: Lee Sterling is on fire for his clients. It's six
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: straight weeks of winning for his clients. So you might
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: want to jump on board. We've got five games that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we want to discuss here on the show with Lee Sterling.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: We're going to do it right now.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: He's got a game of the week, too, that he'll
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: tell you how to get between Green Bay and the Bears.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: He is Lee Sterling. He's our handicapper. Paramount Sports. ParamountSports.com,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and Lee is with us here on the Mac and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Bone Show again. Lee, how are you feeling this week?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Seems like you're doing pretty dang good, man.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we won six straight weeks. Pretty easy to get
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: up and get going, so excited about the week. How
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: did you guys recover after that short turnaround after a
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: primetime game and all the dancing, the victory dance? You guys...
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Ready to go? Are you going to take the week off?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: That's been a grueling week. Physically grueling week.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: The bye week came at the right time for us.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: The injury-ravaged Panthers need a bye week, and so do we.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. All right, Lee, let's get into these games.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Let's start with the college games, obviously. And let's start
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: with the big one before we get to a couple
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: kind of local interest games. Alabama, Georgia. I'm fascinated to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: hear what you say because I'm having a very hard
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: time picking this one and separating these two teams.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I think I'm just going to sit back and enjoy
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Alabama, it looks like right around a point and a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: half at home as favorites.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so checking the weather, and the weather actually looks okay.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: It looks like... Probably the storms and the wind are
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: going to probably pass through about at the latest 1
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: or 2 o'clock. So it looks like we're– it looks
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: like I'll go here for the game, and that's a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: good thing. I mean, this is going to be a
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: fun game. Everyone likes watching the best, and it's tough
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: going against your top-tier quarterback. So Gunnar Stockton, I mean,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: this guy's just a winner. Third and seven, he'll complete
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the pass most of the time for the first down
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: or dive in. and get to the sticks for his team.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: The defense, you don't want to run sideline to sideline.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Probably the quickest linebackers I've ever seen in college football.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And Alabama, I mean, what can you say with Keelan
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Russell now and their opportunistic defense with eight interceptions and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: they've taken a couple to the house. This might come
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: down to, I think, Georgia a little nicked up in
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: their skilled positions on offense. Top two running backs might
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: be on a pitch count. Two of their top three
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: receivers could be out for this game. They're going to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: have to use number 20, Dwight Phillips, a backup running back,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: but a speedy kid. He's their X factor. Runs a 4-2, 4-3, 40.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Get him out in the space. Use him in the slot.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: If they can get him free, they've got a chance here. Otherwise,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a tough, tough go
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: against this Alabama team at home. I think these teams
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: probably meet again, but I think we're going to see
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: another instant classic here. I like Bama 30-27.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: We're talking to the red hot, the scorching, the scintillating
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Lee Sterling of ParamountSports.com here on the Mac and Bone Show. Pittsburgh,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: UNC tomorrow. Pittsburgh new starting quarterback, four-point favorites over the heels.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: What's the right side here, Lee?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, North Carolina continues to battle, and they continue to lose.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: The defense remains solid up front. Perhaps the offense took
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: a step forward last week. Pitt lost their starting quarterback,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Mason Henschel, for the season. Holden Grenier is going to
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: take over here under center. Pretty much I think they're
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: going to play a conservative. Know the kid. He played
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: at Texas State. My alma mater. Didn't see a whole
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: lot of playing time there. I'm just not in love
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: with Pitt's body of work. The question was, did they
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: actually win last week? That field goal sure looked good
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: for me, but now I'm seeing some different angles where
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: it wasn't good. So crazy ending to that game. But
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: they've beaten UCF, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse by a combined
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: 21 points here. I think UNC might be overdue here.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Roy came favored. Tar Heels, pull the upset 24-23.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go. All right, Heels fans enjoying
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that one. Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee. There you go, Finney.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: There you go, Finney. Finney likes it. I can't legally
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: do that for the Heels.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: You can't wear a Duke hat and cheer like that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: That would not fit.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see which fan base likes Lee's next pick because
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it is an in-state rivalry battle. Wake Forest at NC
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: State in Raleigh. And Wake, on the road, they are hot.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They put up 57 on Stanford. They are three-and-a-half-point favorites
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: against State. So what would you do point spread-wise on
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: this one?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I think there's going to be a lot
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: of back-and-forth here in this game. A late possession could
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: win or lose the game. NC State has allowed at
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: least 28 points to all Division I opponents, while Wake's
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: defense has really only flourished against Akron and Stanford, two
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: bottom feeders, both at home. Wake's two road games, while victorious,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: have come by just three and two points and at
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: least 324 yards passing. CJ Bailey, I mean, the way
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: he was able to pick himself up after a Vandy
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: loss and beat App State and upset Louisville, got to
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: give the kid credit. I think he's going to throw
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the pack into a three-game winning streak here. Another one-team favorite, Wolfpack. 34-31.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we've been asking. You got a lead champ
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: for him? We'll talk about it. Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee. Again,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to do that legally. You have to abstain.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: You think it's bad? You think it's bad? When I
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: was in Salt Lake City two weeks ago for my
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: niece's wedding. So they're a Duke family. Both her and
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: her brother and her dad went to Duke. She married
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: a Tar Heel. I mean, it was crazy. They had
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the wedding dance floor. Half painted Duke, the other half
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: North Carolina. One of the craziest scenes. Trust me, no
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: one crossed over.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to ask, were they on separate lines.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: And no one made a move?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of those, like, what's the license
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: plate bone, the house divided license plates?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And I don't know how those relationships work. I don't know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: If anybody out there is listening in the divided houses,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: how do y'all pull it off?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Sunday night football, Falcons-Ravens, Falcons at home favored by three.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Where are you going on this one?
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Well, you're hoping for a little backup quarterback action there.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: And here's the problem, though. I think Atlanta might be
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the hottest team right now in the NFL. Kevin Stefanski,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: remember him, comes over and he brings Bill Callahan. I
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: think that was his greatest move here. They're running that
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: outside zone scheme to perfection, if you watch Monday night.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: And Got a quarterback now, Red Hot, 70% passer on
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the season, and he knows Baltimore well. He just never
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: had the quarterback and the type of talent to be
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: able to battle him here. So I think Baltimore, the
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: backup quarterback, is going to be tough for him here.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I think Atlanta, the hottest team, could come down to
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: that last game of the year. Trust me, I check schedules,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: as do you guys. I like Atlanta here, 27-13.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that is a definite stroke of good luck
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: for the Falcons. We'll see if they can take advantage
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of it. Vikings-Saints, another one, Lee, where we will root
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: against the NFC South team. Vikings, man, that Flores defense
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: gets after you, and they are playing great defensively. They're
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a one-and-a-half point favorite against the Saints.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, consistently. I mean, over 80% of the time blitzing.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: As a quarterback, I would hate to face that. And
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray, I mean, playing poorly, to say the least.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Not one of the better quarterbacks at deciphering defenses here.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: And who knows if he even has his star wide
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: receiver back. Jefferson, they mustered only five field goals today.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: against Miami here. I think the Saints rebound here. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: think the defense seeks some redemption here for that game
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: after allowing 7.5 yards per play here. I think the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: offense might be able to move it enough here, get
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: their backs into some of the patterns, and that's how
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: you can beat Minnesota here. It's not going to be pretty,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: but another Roy team favorite, New Orleans 23-20. They helped
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: you guys in college today. I don't know if I'm
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: going to be able to help you, do any work
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: for you here in the NFL.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Lee, before we get to your game of the week
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: here and how people can get all your picks, how
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: often do you play player props? Are you doing a
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: lot of player props betting? How do you handle that?
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I had a bad beat last week, Lee. I had
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: a parlay going, and I needed Michael Penix against New
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Orleans to get to 225 passing yards. Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And I had everything else. He got the 224.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: And they just ran the ball the rest of the way,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: and it was over.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sure bad beats happen. That's pretty rough.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, that is rough. We're not talking about, like, you know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: rushing yards from a quarterback 10 to 11. that's a
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: real rough beat, and probably, you know, if they were
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: playing from behind or even close, you would have gotten
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: over that total. You know, we play a lot of
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: player props here. We added that three years ago. Let
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: me give you one I love this week. Jordan Love,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: over 234.5 passing yards versus Chicago. They can't run. They
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: ran for between 17 and 86 yards in the four
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: games here. I think that Chicago's back end can be had.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: They've had some injuries there, and I like the matchup.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I like both Green Bay's top two receivers. So I'm
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: going over 234. We can add a player prop every
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: once in a while. I like it. I love that.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I like it. All right.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: So let us see. I came to leave for help
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and I got us all help. You got it. Now
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the bone's already clicking, clicking the bed in.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So you've got that green, that game you're talking about.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Green Bay and the Bears is your game of the week.
