  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what makes everybody happy, getting some money,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: making some money. And Lee Sterling is going to help
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you do that this week on all the football games.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: What an amazing football weekend. Lee Sterling, Paramount Sports, ParamountSports.com.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: He's going to tell you how to get his Georgia
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss game of the week and all his picks
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: for his clients this weekend. But before that, let's talk
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: about some of these local interest games here on the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Mac and Bone Show, as we do every Friday.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Lee, how are you feeling this week, man? What's going on?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I was good until Wednesday about 8.38 in the morning
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: when my phone just started going off, getting calls and
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: texts about Malachi Tony. So it's been a little rough there.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: That sucks. We'll see. It's going to make it really tough.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, what's interesting is someone, you talk about the
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: value of a player. So Tom Brady probably worked hard.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: seven points, eight points. You know, they usually had some
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: pretty good backups for him, like Matt Castle for a while.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: But last night for this, the line from Lamar Jackson
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to his backup was 12 points. I don't know if
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I've ever seen a swing. Now it was from a
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: first to a third stringer to a rookie. So that
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: was monumental. And You know, they're talking about Malachi Tony,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: you know, so the line was five and a half
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: before the injury news came out. It's seven and a half.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I actually think he's worth a lot more. I heard
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: a couple cappers say, you know, they thought it was
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: a lot, one and a half, two points. Well, he
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: catches 10 to 12 balls a game. He runs jet sweeps.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: He's even thrown a touchdown pass. He returns punts. He's
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: your emotional leader. I mean, maybe one of the, 20,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: 25 greatest college football players of all time. It may
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: not translate to the pro game, but we're going to see.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a monumental task here for Miami
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: to go into South Bend and win the game.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Not to mention the defensive attention he pulls and then
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Barcade and Upshaw and those guys, Lofton, those guys get
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: less attention.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Do you want to start there?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just start there.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Let's start with that game.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: So what do you think?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Now that the line's up to 7.5 for Notre Dame,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: which is a big number, what do you think?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Right. All right, so I'm going to take a different
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: approach to this game. Total is 55-and-a-half here. So I
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: think Miami's defense is going to come to play. They
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: know if they give up 30, 35 points, their offense
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: isn't going to be able to score that against this
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame defense. Why? They're probably going to run the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: ball more. Mark Fletcher and J.B. and Mallory used that
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: one-two punch and used that big line. But Notre Dame defense,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: pretty darn good, giving up just 237 yards per game.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: only given up 13.4 points per game. Miami's pass defense
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: has been horrific the last three weeks. You saw it
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: in person. North Carolina did a number on them here
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and almost won the game. But their rush defense, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: that's how pretty much Notre Dame rolls, or at least
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: they use the run to set up the pass. Miami's
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: run defense only allowing 56 yards per game. Here's the kicker.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: pace of play. Miami, 111th out of 138 teams. They
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: walk up to the line, take their time, make audible calls,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: snap it within five seconds. Notre Dame is even slower,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: 120th out of 138 schools. I think that this is
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: going to be a rock fight here. I just think
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: that this is going to be a game. Maybe Notre
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Dame's up 27-17 and Miami scores a backdoor touchdown later.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's 23-20 one way or the other here. And,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you know, you could have Notre Dame ice it with
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: a touchdown or a field goal with a minute or
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: two to go. I don't want my hard-earned money, you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: flying in the wind based on one possession or something
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: like that. I'm going to go under 55.5. I don't
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: like the under. I love the under. Hint, hint. It's
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: one of my– Big client place for very nice.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good info there then.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Lee, local action here. Duke has really smacked around NC
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: State lately, but that was with Dave Doran. They head
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: into Raleigh, four and a half point favorites with no
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: more Dave Doran. What's the right side of this matchup?
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Duke dominated the last three years by 10 points or more.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Hadn't been close here. NC State got a little bump.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: It's happened a lot in college football. Follow-up, the head
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: coach gets fired. Except for Maryland, pretty much every coach
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: has the new coaches come in. Kids, they want to play.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: They want playing time. The starters, they want to stay there.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: The young kids want to prove themselves. They usually play
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit better. We didn't even know that You know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the starting quarterback from North Carolina State was even going
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: to play last week. He plays. They look great. But
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Duke has a 54-46 run-pass split. The Wolfpacks have three
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: times this year given up 175 yards or more on
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the ground here. And that's how Duke rolls here. For
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the fourth time in a row by double digits, I
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: like Duke here, 33-21. All right, there you go, going
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: with Blue Devils.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I like you, Lee. I don't like you, Lee. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: love you.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some NFL games, some NFC
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: South games, and then obviously we're going to get to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Panthers and Broncos. So Bucs are hot right now, but
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: they are, I have a feeling, not going to be
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: able to beat the Bears without throwing the football and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: completing a pass. They are, Tampa Bay getting six from Chicago.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: What's wrong with kicking seven field goals and maybe getting
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: a safety and scoring 23 points? That might get you there. But, yeah,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: they're going to have to throw the ball a little
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: bit here. Weather looks like it should be okay. Tough
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: quit for Chicago going out west. And Ben Johnson, sometimes
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: you don't get a whole lot from watching press conferences,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: but he said last week's win, their game plan was
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the most sophisticated game plan ever. he'd ever put together coaching.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: So it kind of shows you how important that win
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: was in that game going against the defending Super Bowl champions.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Now they come back. They're going to play a rock-solid defense,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: top five in almost every major statistical category. After the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Bucs won 13 or 14 straight games not covering, now
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: they're on a roll here. I think Chicago's going to
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: win 23-20, but Tampa's going to cover 13.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Talking to Lee Sterling, ParamountSports.com with his weekly picks. NFL
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: continues here, Lee. Saints-Brown, Saints favored by one and a half.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: What are we doing with this game?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, so Saints head coach and play caller Kellen Moore
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: fired his run game coordinator, Reagan Eddy, and Fires him for,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: you know, not getting more yards and not painting that
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: pretty picture in Paris that he wanted. They only had
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: 18 rushing yards against the Steelers here. Part of the problem,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: maybe most of it is, I think his obsession with
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: passing the football and throwing it 62.8% of the time.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: What we're seeing, teams off a bye, usually coming out
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and playing real good football. Saints are off of a
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: bye here. I do think that's a slight advantage, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the Browns also making the change of quarterback here to
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Shadur Sanders. So I think they're going to get a
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: couple takeaways. Give me the Saints 26-20. It looks like
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: you're going to have to do your own work here
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: and not get any help. possibly from some of these
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: other teams.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: We also got Atlantic and Cincy over there in Madrid
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: as well, if you're wondering who they're playing as we
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: watch the NFC South ride.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Poor folks of Madrid.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, so before we get to your game of the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: week and tell everybody how to get your picks, let's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: finish it off as we always do, the Panther game.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of people commenting this week, Lee, and we
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: have as well, that man, that line's lower than we
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: expected it to be the way the Panthers offense has
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: played the last couple of weeks. Uh, Broncos by either
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: two and a half, maybe three in that neighborhood. What,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: what are your feelings on this one?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Um, I'll tell you, this is, um, I thought the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: line would be maybe half a point or a point higher, but, um,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I think that this is a great situational play here
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: for Denver. Now, unfortunately, it's the 10th anniversary of Denver
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: versus Carolina Super Bowl. But other than that, Denver has
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: not traveled well here. It's their first significant road trip
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: of the year. Remember, they played the Jets last year
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: in London. Didn't fare well. Traveled to Washington and needed
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: overtime to win that game. So I still think they
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: have trouble here with the running game. Jonah Coleman is
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: a boost to their running game, but I don't know
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: if he's the final answer here. They might be looking
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: for another piece at running back. And the passing game,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: you know, everything is off of play action. And I
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: think that the defensive end, the edge rushers, could have
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: big games here. I know the cornerbacks are out here,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: but a couple of key drops for Denver. And if
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Denver falls behind early, I think they're in trouble. I
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: think Carolina is going to get that running game going here.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Trubin's going to have a huge game here. Give me
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Carolina favored 27, 20.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't see that coming today.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Lee, if you're here, I kissed you on the forehead.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Didn't see that coming. Respectfully. Respectfully.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Well, let's keep the momentum going, Lee.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Hopefully it's not like what happened at, you know, what
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: was junior high, I think, for us back then, now
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: middle school. Did you ever do the seven minutes in heaven?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: No, they always cut me out of that. That's what
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: we call me and my wife's honeymoon. Exactly. It wasn't heaven, though,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: for her. That's true. That's true. Different locations.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: To the dance? Oh, man, going in the broom closet
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: with the girl I liked, you know?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Go in the closet and you kiss for seven minutes.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Everyone knows that game. I never played the game, but I.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Knew the game.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Don't take Lee into that dang closet, all right? Please
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: have some respect. All right, Lee, you got a game
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of the week, Georgia Ole Miss. I know that you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: want to offer that up to our listeners. Tell them
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: how to get it. And then I know for this
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: huge weekend, I know it's got to be a big
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: weekend for you, for your clients. What do you have
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: It is. Yeah, they want Georgia and Ole Miss. Just
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: call 800-400-9741. First 10 callers. We're going to give them
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Georgia and Ole Miss for free. I love one side
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: of this game. Georgia, Ole Miss, 800-400-9741. How about this, guys?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: We've won nine out of ten weeks. Think about that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Have you ever in your life won nine out of
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: ten weeks betting anything? No. We've been able to do that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: We hit our NFL record. We know that. I wasn't
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: asking you. I was asking the audience. So here's the deal.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: We hit our NFL game of the year last week, Jacksonville, 42-7.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: You're not going to get many NFL blowouts like that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: We were 5-0-1 in college football last weekend. You want
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: to hop on board? We've got all the different football
• 11:47
