WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Show - Lee Sterling Interview 

0:00:00.070 --> 0:00:03.350
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you what makes everybody happy, getting some money,

0:00:03.470 --> 0:00:06.370
<v Speaker 1>making some money. And Lee Sterling is going to help

0:00:06.450 --> 0:00:08.730
<v Speaker 1>you do that this week on all the football games.

0:00:08.780 --> 0:00:13.660
<v Speaker 1>What an amazing football weekend. Lee Sterling, Paramount Sports, ParamountSports.com.

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.260
<v Speaker 1>He's going to tell you how to get his Georgia

0:00:15.740 --> 0:00:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Ole Miss game of the week and all his picks

0:00:19.100 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>for his clients this weekend. But before that, let's talk

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>about some of these local interest games here on the

0:00:24.900 --> 0:00:26.570
<v Speaker 1>Mac and Bone Show, as we do every Friday.

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.150
<v Speaker 2>Lee, how are you feeling this week, man? What's going on?

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:37.050
<v Speaker 3>I was good until Wednesday about 8.38 in the morning

0:00:37.090 --> 0:00:41.750
<v Speaker 3>when my phone just started going off, getting calls and

0:00:41.870 --> 0:00:47.530
<v Speaker 3>texts about Malachi Tony. So it's been a little rough there.

0:00:47.550 --> 0:00:51.250
<v Speaker 3>That sucks. We'll see. It's going to make it really tough.

0:00:51.270 --> 0:00:54.490
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what's interesting is someone, you talk about the

0:00:54.550 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 3>value of a player. So Tom Brady probably worked hard.

0:00:58.570 --> 0:01:01.069
<v Speaker 3>seven points, eight points. You know, they usually had some

0:01:01.090 --> 0:01:04.380
<v Speaker 3>pretty good backups for him, like Matt Castle for a while.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:10.940
<v Speaker 3>But last night for this, the line from Lamar Jackson

0:01:11.260 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 3>to his backup was 12 points. I don't know if

0:01:14.940 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I've ever seen a swing. Now it was from a

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.060
<v Speaker 3>first to a third stringer to a rookie. So that

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.420
<v Speaker 3>was monumental. And You know, they're talking about Malachi Tony,

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.050
<v Speaker 3>you know, so the line was five and a half

0:01:27.110 --> 0:01:29.550
<v Speaker 3>before the injury news came out. It's seven and a half.

0:01:29.910 --> 0:01:31.950
<v Speaker 3>I actually think he's worth a lot more. I heard

0:01:31.970 --> 0:01:35.670
<v Speaker 3>a couple cappers say, you know, they thought it was

0:01:35.750 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 3>a lot, one and a half, two points. Well, he

0:01:38.660 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 3>catches 10 to 12 balls a game. He runs jet sweeps.

0:01:42.740 --> 0:01:45.780
<v Speaker 3>He's even thrown a touchdown pass. He returns punts. He's

0:01:45.819 --> 0:01:50.450
<v Speaker 3>your emotional leader. I mean, maybe one of the, 20,

0:01:50.450 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 3>25 greatest college football players of all time. It may

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 3>not translate to the pro game, but we're going to see.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be a monumental task here for Miami

0:01:59.260 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 3>to go into South Bend and win the game.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.220
<v Speaker 1>Not to mention the defensive attention he pulls and then

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Barcade and Upshaw and those guys, Lofton, those guys get

0:02:08.060 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>less attention.

0:02:08.940 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to start there?

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's just start there.

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Let's start with that game.

0:02:13.620 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>So what do you think?

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.139
<v Speaker 1>Now that the line's up to 7.5 for Notre Dame,

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 1>which is a big number, what do you think?

0:02:20.930 --> 0:02:23.510
<v Speaker 3>Right. All right, so I'm going to take a different

0:02:23.530 --> 0:02:28.330
<v Speaker 3>approach to this game. Total is 55-and-a-half here. So I

0:02:28.370 --> 0:02:30.650
<v Speaker 3>think Miami's defense is going to come to play. They

0:02:30.690 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 3>know if they give up 30, 35 points, their offense

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 3>isn't going to be able to score that against this

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.180
<v Speaker 3>Notre Dame defense. Why? They're probably going to run the

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 3>ball more. Mark Fletcher and J.B. and Mallory used that

0:02:42.260 --> 0:02:46.660
<v Speaker 3>one-two punch and used that big line. But Notre Dame defense,

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.740
<v Speaker 3>pretty darn good, giving up just 237 yards per game.

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:55.390
<v Speaker 3>only given up 13.4 points per game. Miami's pass defense

0:02:55.430 --> 0:02:57.910
<v Speaker 3>has been horrific the last three weeks. You saw it

0:02:57.950 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 3>in person. North Carolina did a number on them here

0:03:02.500 --> 0:03:05.060
<v Speaker 3>and almost won the game. But their rush defense, and

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.459
<v Speaker 3>that's how pretty much Notre Dame rolls, or at least

0:03:08.500 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 3>they use the run to set up the pass. Miami's

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.530
<v Speaker 3>run defense only allowing 56 yards per game. Here's the kicker.

0:03:16.090 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 3>pace of play. Miami, 111th out of 138 teams. They

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.900
<v Speaker 3>walk up to the line, take their time, make audible calls,

0:03:25.260 --> 0:03:30.260
<v Speaker 3>snap it within five seconds. Notre Dame is even slower,

0:03:30.590 --> 0:03:34.210
<v Speaker 3>120th out of 138 schools. I think that this is

0:03:34.230 --> 0:03:37.010
<v Speaker 3>going to be a rock fight here. I just think

0:03:37.050 --> 0:03:38.910
<v Speaker 3>that this is going to be a game. Maybe Notre

0:03:38.930 --> 0:03:43.910
<v Speaker 3>Dame's up 27-17 and Miami scores a backdoor touchdown later.

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:49.350
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it's 23-20 one way or the other here. And,

0:03:49.550 --> 0:03:51.990
<v Speaker 3>you know, you could have Notre Dame ice it with

0:03:52.030 --> 0:03:53.770
<v Speaker 3>a touchdown or a field goal with a minute or

0:03:53.810 --> 0:03:58.110
<v Speaker 3>two to go. I don't want my hard-earned money, you know,

0:03:58.630 --> 0:04:02.430
<v Speaker 3>flying in the wind based on one possession or something

0:04:02.450 --> 0:04:05.570
<v Speaker 3>like that. I'm going to go under 55.5. I don't

0:04:05.630 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 3>like the under. I love the under. Hint, hint. It's

0:04:08.380 --> 0:04:12.110
<v Speaker 3>one of my– Big client place for very nice.

0:04:12.370 --> 0:04:14.810
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's a good info there then.

0:04:15.450 --> 0:04:18.830
<v Speaker 4>Lee, local action here. Duke has really smacked around NC

0:04:19.430 --> 0:04:22.430
<v Speaker 4>State lately, but that was with Dave Doran. They head

0:04:22.470 --> 0:04:25.210
<v Speaker 4>into Raleigh, four and a half point favorites with no

0:04:25.250 --> 0:04:27.770
<v Speaker 4>more Dave Doran. What's the right side of this matchup?

0:04:30.020 --> 0:04:33.020
<v Speaker 3>Duke dominated the last three years by 10 points or more.

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Hadn't been close here. NC State got a little bump.

0:04:36.730 --> 0:04:40.250
<v Speaker 3>It's happened a lot in college football. Follow-up, the head

0:04:40.290 --> 0:04:45.630
<v Speaker 3>coach gets fired. Except for Maryland, pretty much every coach

0:04:46.029 --> 0:04:50.029
<v Speaker 3>has the new coaches come in. Kids, they want to play.

0:04:50.050 --> 0:04:52.370
<v Speaker 3>They want playing time. The starters, they want to stay there.

0:04:52.390 --> 0:04:56.270
<v Speaker 3>The young kids want to prove themselves. They usually play

0:04:56.310 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 3>a little bit better. We didn't even know that You know,

0:04:59.460 --> 0:05:01.970
<v Speaker 3>the starting quarterback from North Carolina State was even going

0:05:01.990 --> 0:05:04.409
<v Speaker 3>to play last week. He plays. They look great. But

0:05:04.830 --> 0:05:09.969
<v Speaker 3>Duke has a 54-46 run-pass split. The Wolfpacks have three

0:05:10.029 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 3>times this year given up 175 yards or more on

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 3>the ground here. And that's how Duke rolls here. For

0:05:16.260 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 3>the fourth time in a row by double digits, I

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.860
<v Speaker 3>like Duke here, 33-21. All right, there you go, going

0:05:21.900 --> 0:05:22.340
<v Speaker 3>with Blue Devils.

0:05:22.380 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I like you, Lee. I don't like you, Lee. I

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>love you.

0:05:24.900 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to some NFL games, some NFC

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.339
<v Speaker 1>South games, and then obviously we're going to get to

0:05:31.380 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Panthers and Broncos. So Bucs are hot right now, but

0:05:34.980 --> 0:05:37.540
<v Speaker 1>they are, I have a feeling, not going to be

0:05:37.580 --> 0:05:40.339
<v Speaker 1>able to beat the Bears without throwing the football and

0:05:40.380 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>completing a pass. They are, Tampa Bay getting six from Chicago.

0:05:45.540 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.630
<v Speaker 3>What's wrong with kicking seven field goals and maybe getting

0:05:51.690 --> 0:05:56.030
<v Speaker 3>a safety and scoring 23 points? That might get you there. But, yeah,

0:05:56.150 --> 0:05:57.830
<v Speaker 3>they're going to have to throw the ball a little

0:05:57.870 --> 0:06:02.110
<v Speaker 3>bit here. Weather looks like it should be okay. Tough

0:06:02.210 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 3>quit for Chicago going out west. And Ben Johnson, sometimes

0:06:07.220 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 3>you don't get a whole lot from watching press conferences,

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 3>but he said last week's win, their game plan was

0:06:13.820 --> 0:06:17.900
<v Speaker 3>the most sophisticated game plan ever. he'd ever put together coaching.

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.789
<v Speaker 3>So it kind of shows you how important that win

0:06:20.820 --> 0:06:26.130
<v Speaker 3>was in that game going against the defending Super Bowl champions.

0:06:26.250 --> 0:06:29.630
<v Speaker 3>Now they come back. They're going to play a rock-solid defense,

0:06:29.710 --> 0:06:33.830
<v Speaker 3>top five in almost every major statistical category. After the

0:06:34.230 --> 0:06:37.490
<v Speaker 3>Bucs won 13 or 14 straight games not covering, now

0:06:37.510 --> 0:06:42.210
<v Speaker 3>they're on a roll here. I think Chicago's going to

0:06:42.310 --> 0:06:44.980
<v Speaker 3>win 23-20, but Tampa's going to cover 13.

0:06:44.980 --> 0:06:50.190
<v Speaker 4>Talking to Lee Sterling, ParamountSports.com with his weekly picks. NFL

0:06:50.250 --> 0:06:55.050
<v Speaker 4>continues here, Lee. Saints-Brown, Saints favored by one and a half.

0:06:55.130 --> 0:06:56.150
<v Speaker 4>What are we doing with this game?

0:06:58.550 --> 0:07:02.450
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so Saints head coach and play caller Kellen Moore

0:07:03.010 --> 0:07:08.390
<v Speaker 3>fired his run game coordinator, Reagan Eddy, and Fires him for,

0:07:08.830 --> 0:07:13.090
<v Speaker 3>you know, not getting more yards and not painting that

0:07:13.130 --> 0:07:16.450
<v Speaker 3>pretty picture in Paris that he wanted. They only had

0:07:16.450 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 3>18 rushing yards against the Steelers here. Part of the problem,

0:07:20.660 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 3>maybe most of it is, I think his obsession with

0:07:23.780 --> 0:07:28.420
<v Speaker 3>passing the football and throwing it 62.8% of the time.

0:07:28.860 --> 0:07:31.260
<v Speaker 3>What we're seeing, teams off a bye, usually coming out

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.050
<v Speaker 3>and playing real good football. Saints are off of a

0:07:34.090 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 3>bye here. I do think that's a slight advantage, and

0:07:38.620 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 3>the Browns also making the change of quarterback here to

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Shadur Sanders. So I think they're going to get a

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.780
<v Speaker 3>couple takeaways. Give me the Saints 26-20. It looks like

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>you're going to have to do your own work here

0:07:49.820 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 3>and not get any help. possibly from some of these

0:07:52.900 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 3>other teams.

0:07:53.380 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, all right.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>We also got Atlantic and Cincy over there in Madrid

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.770
<v Speaker 1>as well, if you're wondering who they're playing as we

0:07:59.810 --> 0:08:01.250
<v Speaker 1>watch the NFC South ride.

0:08:01.290 --> 0:08:02.410
<v Speaker 2>Poor folks of Madrid.

0:08:04.590 --> 0:08:06.150
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so before we get to your game of the

0:08:06.170 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>week and tell everybody how to get your picks, let's

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>finish it off as we always do, the Panther game.

0:08:13.020 --> 0:08:16.340
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people commenting this week, Lee, and we

0:08:16.380 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>have as well, that man, that line's lower than we

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.780
<v Speaker 1>expected it to be the way the Panthers offense has

0:08:21.860 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>played the last couple of weeks. Uh, Broncos by either

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.420
<v Speaker 1>two and a half, maybe three in that neighborhood. What,

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:29.820
<v Speaker 1>what are your feelings on this one?

0:08:32.490 --> 0:08:37.450
<v Speaker 3>Um, I'll tell you, this is, um, I thought the

0:08:37.510 --> 0:08:42.450
<v Speaker 3>line would be maybe half a point or a point higher, but, um,

0:08:43.350 --> 0:08:46.510
<v Speaker 3>I think that this is a great situational play here

0:08:46.630 --> 0:08:49.740
<v Speaker 3>for Denver. Now, unfortunately, it's the 10th anniversary of Denver

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.069
<v Speaker 3>versus Carolina Super Bowl. But other than that, Denver has

0:08:53.140 --> 0:08:56.790
<v Speaker 3>not traveled well here. It's their first significant road trip

0:08:56.870 --> 0:09:00.780
<v Speaker 3>of the year. Remember, they played the Jets last year

0:09:01.190 --> 0:09:06.610
<v Speaker 3>in London. Didn't fare well. Traveled to Washington and needed

0:09:06.770 --> 0:09:10.010
<v Speaker 3>overtime to win that game. So I still think they

0:09:10.030 --> 0:09:12.370
<v Speaker 3>have trouble here with the running game. Jonah Coleman is

0:09:12.450 --> 0:09:14.699
<v Speaker 3>a boost to their running game, but I don't know

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.380
<v Speaker 3>if he's the final answer here. They might be looking

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 3>for another piece at running back. And the passing game,

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, everything is off of play action. And I

0:09:23.059 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 3>think that the defensive end, the edge rushers, could have

0:09:25.940 --> 0:09:28.099
<v Speaker 3>big games here. I know the cornerbacks are out here,

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.150
<v Speaker 3>but a couple of key drops for Denver. And if

0:09:31.170 --> 0:09:33.890
<v Speaker 3>Denver falls behind early, I think they're in trouble. I

0:09:33.929 --> 0:09:36.420
<v Speaker 3>think Carolina is going to get that running game going here.

0:09:37.140 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Trubin's going to have a huge game here. Give me

0:09:39.860 --> 0:09:49.690
<v Speaker 3>Carolina favored 27, 20.

0:09:52.550 --> 0:09:54.070
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see that coming today.

0:09:54.110 --> 0:09:55.610
<v Speaker 4>Lee, if you're here, I kissed you on the forehead.

0:09:55.630 --> 0:09:58.569
<v Speaker 2>Didn't see that coming. Respectfully. Respectfully.

0:09:59.110 --> 0:09:59.410
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:09:59.429 --> 0:10:01.210
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's keep the momentum going, Lee.

0:10:01.570 --> 0:10:05.929
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully it's not like what happened at, you know, what

0:10:06.700 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 3>was junior high, I think, for us back then, now

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 3>middle school. Did you ever do the seven minutes in heaven?

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 2>No, they always cut me out of that. That's what

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.660
<v Speaker 2>we call me and my wife's honeymoon. Exactly. It wasn't heaven, though,

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:25.270
<v Speaker 2>for her. That's true. That's true. Different locations.

0:10:27.590 --> 0:10:30.100
<v Speaker 3>To the dance? Oh, man, going in the broom closet

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.140
<v Speaker 3>with the girl I liked, you know?

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.220
<v Speaker 4>Go in the closet and you kiss for seven minutes.

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 4>Everyone knows that game. I never played the game, but I.

0:10:38.460 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Knew the game.

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.380
<v Speaker 1>Don't take Lee into that dang closet, all right? Please

0:10:41.420 --> 0:10:44.190
<v Speaker 1>have some respect. All right, Lee, you got a game

0:10:44.230 --> 0:10:46.190
<v Speaker 1>of the week, Georgia Ole Miss. I know that you

0:10:46.210 --> 0:10:48.510
<v Speaker 1>want to offer that up to our listeners. Tell them

0:10:48.550 --> 0:10:50.489
<v Speaker 1>how to get it. And then I know for this

0:10:50.530 --> 0:10:52.290
<v Speaker 1>huge weekend, I know it's got to be a big

0:10:52.309 --> 0:10:54.210
<v Speaker 1>weekend for you, for your clients. What do you have

0:10:54.230 --> 0:10:54.650
<v Speaker 1>going on?

0:10:55.700 --> 0:11:01.089
<v Speaker 3>It is. Yeah, they want Georgia and Ole Miss. Just

0:11:01.130 --> 0:11:03.450
<v Speaker 3>call 800-400-9741. First 10 callers. We're going to give them

0:11:03.490 --> 0:11:05.610
<v Speaker 3>Georgia and Ole Miss for free. I love one side

0:11:05.650 --> 0:11:10.790
<v Speaker 3>of this game. Georgia, Ole Miss, 800-400-9741. How about this, guys?

0:11:11.110 --> 0:11:13.740
<v Speaker 3>We've won nine out of ten weeks. Think about that.

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.380
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever in your life won nine out of

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.020
<v Speaker 3>ten weeks betting anything? No. We've been able to do that.

0:11:21.059 --> 0:11:24.270
<v Speaker 3>We hit our NFL record. We know that. I wasn't

0:11:24.350 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 3>asking you. I was asking the audience. So here's the deal.

0:11:32.580 --> 0:11:35.900
<v Speaker 3>We hit our NFL game of the year last week, Jacksonville, 42-7.

0:11:35.940 --> 0:11:39.060
<v Speaker 3>You're not going to get many NFL blowouts like that.

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:44.339
<v Speaker 3>We were 5-0-1 in college football last weekend. You want

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.290
<v Speaker 3>to hop on board? We've got all the different football

0:11:47.309 --> 0:11:53.030
<v Speaker 3>specials up. Also, UFC went 5-0. That's right, 5-0 last week.

0:11:53.050 --> 0:11:56.550
<v Speaker 3>We've won 19 of the last 24 cards. So, try

0:11:56.590 --> 0:12:02.940
<v Speaker 3>the NFL special. It's called the Golden Ticket. Five selections, $ 55.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.900
<v Speaker 3>Or the UFC, three selections, $ 3. You heard me correct.

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:13.339
<v Speaker 3>Three UFC selections, $ 3. Everything's up and available. Ready to go.

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.880
