• 0:22
  Speaker 2: on those 1 o'clock games. So check this out. Just
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: picture this. I give out Carolina... They got a nice
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: big lead over Philly, right? Feeling pretty good about that game.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Got New Orleans over the Giants. You know, I'm feeling
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: great there after that 35-0 run. And then I've got
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Chicago against Atlanta. So those are my three early games.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And my wife is sitting there. She goes, how are
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: we looking? I said, you know, good in all three games.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: She comes back like 10 minutes later and she's like,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: what's all the yelling and hollering? I'm like, we just
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: had like touchdown scored against us unanswered in all these
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: games and i said we could lose two and push
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: on one if each team scores another touchdown she goes
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: i just can't take this anymore all these ups and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: downs and walks out and i'm like honey that's the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: nfl that's why we keep coming back.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You were good though in all three right you ended
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: up all good right oh yeah yeah i won.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: All three i won all three but i lost like
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I lost four and a half pounds in 35 minutes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: The scariest thing for me on Sunday, especially Sundays, is
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: when I'm winning three or four games early, I think there's–
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: how is this going to sustain? I'm winning all these games.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: It never fails. That chaos just seems to happen right afterwards.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it's like with your dog. You're good for like 30,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: 40 minutes, and you know– all hell's going to break
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: loose eventually.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: You're waiting for– yeah, you're exactly right. You're waiting for–
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: NFL gambling is like waiting for your shoes to be chewed.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get into– Absolutely.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Hypothetically.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Lee says absolutely. All right, so let's get into some
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of these games. We'll start, as always, with the college games.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Noon tomorrow, Miami coming off that scare with the Noles
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: last week. 20.5-point favorites against a Pittsburgh team that has
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: now started two different backup quarterbacks since Heichel went out.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Lost both of those games to UNC and BC. Is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Miami going to cover? That's a big number, but are
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: they going to cover? What do you think?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: No love lost between these two coaches. I mean, you
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: saw what was going on in the offseason. I mean,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it got ugly. And Pitt Coach, I mean, he was
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: making some pretty strong accusations. You know, they were trying
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to pill for his quarterback, who's now hurt. The weather,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that's a big factor. You know, it certainly helped, I think,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Florida State some last week, pouring rainstorm for the first half.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Could be some weather. I'm guessing maybe not here. But
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: these two backups are so bad. One touchdown and four interceptions.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in two games. One of the guys was a backup
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: at my alma mater, Texas State. Shows you how bad.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I think the kid decided he's on his fourth school.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: He's like, oh, well, I'm going to get my grad degree.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll just go out for the football team. And
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: somehow he became the backup. But it's a disaster, a
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: quarterback here. If they had that quarterback, I would take
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Pitt here in the 10 points. I think, believe it
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: or not, he's worth at least 10 points. I think
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Miami romps here. Miami's got some injuries, but They will
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: get a couple guys back in the defensive backfield. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: think Miami puts a number on them. Also like the over.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I like Miami here, something like 42-14.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Lee, I'm not here to talk about the past. I'm
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: here to talk about these games. The Heels won last week.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: They are now 10-point favorites over Syracuse. What is the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: play here for a now intriguing Heels team?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Syracuse, you know, they're rotating between four different guys.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Whoever can hop. We're not talking about... totally health-free, just
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: can hop all over the field and maybe play a series.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: But that's a real big problem here. But North Carolina,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: their defense, they usually feast on bad quarterbacks, and they're
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: doing enough. Edwards is moving around. You know, in his past,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: he would throw a lot of interceptions, a couple of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: his last stops. But I think they've figured it out.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: They got Miami next week, big game. But I think
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: they'll have a big enough lead here where they'll feel
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: pretty comfortable. I'm going to lay the 10 points here.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: With Bill's boys, North Carolina here, 37-18.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Heels fans. Lee Sterling is
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: with us breaking down games like he does every Friday.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But if you want to find his picks for his
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: clients and be one of his clients, he's been doing
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: great this season. ParamountSports, ParamountSports.com. Lee, Lions Packers, a very
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: interesting one this week in that 425 or so window. Lions,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a three-point favorite. What do you think?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love one side here. I love the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Detroit side here. They're all of a sudden getting healthy,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: going to get back one of their key linebackers, one
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of their defensive backs, and coming off the bye. We've
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: seen that most teams are faring really well. The players
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: are out of the building for five days, but the coaches,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: they get a couple extra days to game plan, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it's been a difference here. I know Green Bay's looked
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: good the last couple weeks. I still think that they're weak.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: They lost before this run the last two weeks. Key linebacker,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: key offensive lineman again. Now they're down three starting offensive linemen.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: So I think it's going to be tough for Green Bay.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And I just think Detroit's offense might be the best
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: or second best in the league behind Chicago. So you've
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: got to lay it if you want to play it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It's at home here in a shootout like Detroit here, 45-35.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Lee, we have a Paris game on Sunday. Steelers, Saints.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Steelers favored by three and a half. What side is
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: the right play here?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I had a friend call me from Paris, and he's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: not a football fan. He goes, what's going on? Is
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: there some kind of convention going on? All these people
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: wearing a lot of black and different shades of gold
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and yellow. I said, yeah, it's the Steelers against the Saints.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: It's the French quarter against the terrible towel. So it
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: should be a fun game. Both fan group bases pretty passionate.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Difference here is I think Tyler's show just does not
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: look good. you know, he's barely completed 50% of his
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: passes last week in that game, uh, that they put
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: up 35 points. I thought the defense kind of fueled
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that also the running game. And I don't know if
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: they're going to be able to crank up that running
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: game here against this Pittsburgh defense. So, uh, they early
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and often Pittsburgh and show you so many looks and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: that offensive line might have some problems. So, uh, In Paris, yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: early on Sunday. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers here 24-14.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I would love to see that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It would be a good way, Bo, to get our
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Sunday morning going.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I'm going to eat that while having French toast. There
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you go. All right, let's go.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: You've got to have some beignets, guys.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Beignets? There you go.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I was trying to eat healthy.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: A little croissant.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I was trying to eat healthy, Lee. Come on, please.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Healthy.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Do they call it French toast there, or is it
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: just toast?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: These are the thought-provoking questions that you ask. All right, Lee,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I know your game of the week is Cowboys-Eagles that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Monday night game next week. Two really desperate teams. But
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: let's talk Panthers-Bucks first. Panthers right around the field goal
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: favorite at home. What do you think about that one?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It looks like Baker Mayfield is going to play in
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: this game. So I tried to play one time with
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a broken pinky finger in my throwing hand. And he's
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: going to try to go here. with a broken finger
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in his hand, I think it's going to be tough. So,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you know, he's a tough guy, and he hangs in there,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and he takes a beating here. But defense has been good.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: They're going to have to, I think, run the football
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: on offense, keep this Carolina offense off the field here.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Difference here is Bryce Young's on a roll here. He
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: has more than half the yards than he had last
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: year in 16 games. so far in five games. So
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: 11-2 touchdown to interception ratio. Buck's defense has been good
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: as usual, but the pass defense has been their clear
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: weakness here. And I think Young's the type of thrower
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that can hurt them in the short passing game. I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: going to keep riding. The Carolina Panthers, 27-20. It's going
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to be a nice victory for the Panthers. Here you go.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> Oh, man.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I think my voice went out there.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Lee, is y'all all right over there?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I'm okay. I got it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You also, Lee, he also has some sort of hand
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: gesture cheer that he does as well when he chants Lee.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Lee, obviously, that's what Duke fans used to do for
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Lee Malchioni back in the early 2000s.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. That is a way back. That is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a way back.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Know your history, pal.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: He's giving you the Cameron crazy treatment. All right. Lee,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: let's go.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: People want to play your prop, Lee. You've been hot
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: on those.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I forgot about that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Do you want to play your prop for us?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. Kenneth Walker, under 84.5 rushing yards against Seattle.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I think Seattle knows him inside and out. I think
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: they're going to make Kansas City push the ball down
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the field. I mean, they got one receiver that's a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: legitimate receiver on the team. All the rest of these guys,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: because of injuries, are practice squad guys or wouldn't even
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: be dressing out. under 84.5 rushing yards. And I know
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: it's tough. He's run for 665 yards every time he's
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: suited up this year. He's the top four NFL running
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: back as far as fantasy points, but not this Sunday
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: here under 84.5 rushing yards for Kenneth Walker. And how
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: about this game of the week, Cowboys and Eagles? This
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: is another division like yours that could come down to
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: last week. If you win seven games, you might win
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: this division here. That tie might come in huge. So
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Cowboys and Eagles, I think I've got the right side.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Just call 800-400-9741. You want to get this game for free. 800-400-9741.
