  Speaker 1: Lee Sterling went 10-3-1 for his clients last week, and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that's the thing that has to be said. For us,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: he kind of does bone a lot of the local games,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of the games he knows we're interested in,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Panther game every week. It's not like those are the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: ones he believes so strongly in that he's giving them
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: out to his clients. So you really got to be
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a client of Lee's and see those picks, and those
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: are the ones that his clients are loving him for.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: But we get them every week, games of interest. And
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we got Lee Sterling back from Paramount Sports, ParamountSports.com, to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: break down some of these games. And he also wants
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to let you know he's got the game of the week.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It's State Louisville. He's going to let you know how
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to get that one. Lee, what's happening, man? How are
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you feeling this week?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, when Cleveland comes through for you on a
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Thursday night, you know you're feeling good. How great is
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: it to see Aaron– Rodgers fighting with another coach, and
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: he didn't see that reunion blowing up, huh?
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: I can't believe he was cranky last night. I can't
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: believe Aaron Rodgers, he must have been past his bedtime,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: That's like the couple, Lee, that gets back together and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: all their friends know, oh, they're going to be screaming
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: at each other in no time.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You know, that is right there.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Two halves last night. I mean, if y'all watch it,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, great in the first half. He had
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: two incompletions and both were drops. One should have been
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: an interference. In the second half, you're like, what happened
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: to the first half? He somewhat pulled it together in
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the last drive and almost fumbled it away. Bottom line is, Cleveland,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: if they can just be a little more disciplined and
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Watson plays like he played in the first half, Look out.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, they could be fighting for a playoff position.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Lord knows we learned last week that they are no joke,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and they validated that last night. All right, let's talk
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: about some of these games. So Miami-Clemson is one we're
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: going to talk a ton about today. We've talked a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: ton about this week. Everybody's kind of trying to figure out,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: will Clemson have this inspired effort where they make the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: game close? Hell, Dabo himself said this game's coming down
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to the last play. Well, Vegas doesn't think so. Clemson
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is a 16.5-point dog. What do you think about this
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: point spread?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Well, I think weather is going to be a huge
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: factor here. If you see Miami, you know, practiced outside,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: didn't have an indoor practice facility. They were great in
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: bad weather, but they rarely go outside now anymore. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: bottom line here is, you know, if it's raining sideways and,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: you know, the forecast still doesn't look great, then, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: it's possible that it could be closer. But if it's
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: not pouring sideways, I think Clemson's in real trouble here.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, you have a quarterback to beat Miami. You
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: have to have a dual-play quarterback. Reynolds is a runner,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: but clearly not an accomplished passer. So right now, the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: forecast I'm looking at actually looks pretty good, just 10%
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to 20% chance of rain. And if that's the case here,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, Miami's combination here, Mensah to Toney, is almost
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: unstoppable here. A couple changes. They're going to bring in
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Ben Congdon. Everyone thought it was going to be Jackson Cantwell,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the all-everything freshman, number one player in the country. He's
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: still coming along. He's the backup of both tackles, but
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: they had a real problem at left guard. So bring
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: in the true freshman, Ben Congdon. He's 6'6, 330, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: he plays nasty. So I think it spells trouble here
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: for Clemson. Give them credit. They turned it around a
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: little bit the last couple weeks and won games, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Miami's a different monster. Sometimes you've got to lay it
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: if you want to play it. Miami, 41-17.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame and Chapel Hill to take on the Tar Heels.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: They come in as 21-and-a-half-point favorites on the road. What's
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the right side in this matchup?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame has some weaknesses. I mean, their offensive line,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: doesn't look great. Running back position, a couple steps down,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: losing their top two guys in the first round of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the draft, and three of their touchdowns so far were
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: on special teams and defense, so kind of has inflated
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: the scores here. I think North Carolina's defense is going
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: to keep them in the game here. I just think
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: this line is inflated here, and I think defense is
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: going to be a low-scoring game. I think Notre Dame
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: wins 26-13, but Three touchdowns, I think it's too much.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: There we go, Heels fans. We got a cover, baby.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Was I too excited about the cover, Boat?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You are right, though, about that offense for Notre Dame,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the run game. There's not a question in the world
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: about that defense, though, I don't think. All right, let's go.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Lee Sterling is with us. Paramount Sports. ParamountSports.com is where
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you find his picks. He's going to tell you in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a few minutes how to get all his picks here
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: as we start Locked Over, but also... His game of
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the week, Louisville, NC State, Wake Forest. This team is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: really whether it was Lee, the way they kind of,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you know, hung in and competed against Miami or the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: way they outright beat Louisville. They're earning a lot of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: respect the last couple of weeks. Now, you know, there
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: are expectations that they put it on Stanford. They're 12
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorites tomorrow.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Got to get Joey Galloway on. He said, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Blake Forrest wasn't a good win for Miami. So I
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: think most people would differ now. And Jake Dickard, how
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: good has he done? Just 12-5 straight up under his control. Stanford,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: just this team, they start off okay for about a
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: quarter against Miami. Since then, horrible. And at Duke, they
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: just couldn't even compete here. Going east, they might as
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: well keep going to Europe. on one of their semesters
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: abroad here. Wake Forest, big, 35-14.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. Keep traveling.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Hit the pond and keep on going. NFL, Saints, and Falcons.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: That's the Monday night game, and that's the 20th anniversary
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: game of the Steve Gleason moment, the Hurricane Katrina return
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: to the Superdome. A lot of emotions in that building, Lee.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Saints favored by 2.5. What's the right side here?
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: These two teams, I think we're going to be there
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: in the end. I think it's going to be just
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: like last year. We're going to have three teams slugging
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: it out here. I think since Atlanta got their quarterback,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: this shift team just looks like a different team. Defense
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: is playing with an edge. You know, they might get
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: a couple, you know, late hits here, but they like
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to send a message here. Kevin Stefanski feels good about
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: what he's got going on and, New Orleans, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: inexplicably just let that lead slip away. I think this
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: is one of those games that comes down to the
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: last drive here. I think you take any points you
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: can get here. I think the wrong team's favorite. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: think Atlanta moved to 2-2 when everyone had written them
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: off 26-24.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Man, that would be very NFC South-y, though. You know
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: what I mean? That would bring the pack all together
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: even more there. All right, Lee, now we've got to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: talk about the Panther game. And, my Lord, I know
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you've been thinking about this, handicapping this game. The injuries
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: for the Panthers, I mean, have just been brutal. They
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: really have. And this week we get the news that,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you know, J.C. Horn, Mike Jackson, starting corners and good
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: ones are out now for, you know, at least six
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to eight weeks or so. So they won't play against
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: this high powered offense. What do you think? Lions coming
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in here Sunday night, three and a half point favorites.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of Panther fans are fearing that they cover
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that spread and then some.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about this?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: It's going to be high scoring. Get to your seat early,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: except for going out to the restroom at halftime. Get
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: all your food and get ready to go before the game.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: You don't want to miss a series here. Two high-powered
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: offenses here against two defenses. that we know. I mean,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: you think Carolina's in trouble in the secondary. Detroit's lost
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: both of their safeties. They're best cornerback by far. He's
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: accused of a crime and they had to cut him loose.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: So receivers are going to be running free. And I
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: just think right now that Bryce Young is just maybe
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: a little bit hotter. Number one in passing yards, 939.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: The key to this game Run the football. Keep that
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Detroit offense, you know, off the field here. Let's get
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: some 12, 14, 16 play drives. You want to score,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: but maybe sometimes not too quick here. In the shootout,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: we're another really team-favored Carolina, straight up 38-35.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, no! <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: How about that? How? I didn't see that coming.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I was so afraid he was going to go romp
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a room special on us, man.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Oh, that would be big. What a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: surprise from Lee. I'll tell you this.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: If you do have a positive feeling, Lee, the game
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: we keep bringing up is the Rams regular season game
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: last year. A lot of guys out. It felt like this,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and the Panthers rose up. All right. So let everybody know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: now that everybody fully loves Lee, even more than they
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: did before the interview started, let everybody know out there,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: how did they get your Louisville State game of the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: week and and how they get all your picks.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I know this is a big month starting off for you.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: It is. We've won five straight weeks, and we have

  Speaker 3: not lost. This is crazy, guys. Entire month of September

• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Lee, before you go, it's funny you mentioned relationships. We
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: had a massive show fight earlier today. I'd like to
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: bring it up because I wasn't involved in it. I'm
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: not going to yell at Lee, though. Mac and Philly
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: got in a huge fight here. Can you guys explain
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: what the problem was here to Lee?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Philly thinks this is so funny. Philly was giving me
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a hard time for taking my wife out tomorrow night
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: for dinner.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: It's her birthday. So I got to do it, right?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I got to do it. I got to hit record
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: on the games.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: But Finney now finds it so funny that your advice
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: is forget about the relationships, man. This is football time,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know? But I'm not going to yell at you
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: like I did Finney Lee, you know?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, so here's what you do. Here's what you do, Chris.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: See what kind of salesman you are, all right? So
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: one time we had an anniversary and there was something
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: going on. It was actually July 3rd, but something was
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: going on And I told her, honey, you don't want
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: to go out on a Saturday, and it can be crazy.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Let's go out like on a Tuesday or Wednesday, because
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: that way I found some special, some really high-end restaurant.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: It's all about in the sales shop.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Man, you're good. Lee, you're good. You're smooth. You're smooth, man.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: All right. All right, Lee. Appreciate you, brother. Be good.
