WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Show - Lee Sterling Interview 

0:00:00.090 --> 0:00:04.130
<v Speaker 1>Right now, let's bring in Lee Sterling, who is going

0:00:04.190 --> 0:00:07.270
<v Speaker 1>to help you win some money this weekend. He's going

0:00:07.290 --> 0:00:09.780
<v Speaker 1>to help us pick some games, including that Panthers-Bucks game

0:00:10.180 --> 0:00:13.580
<v Speaker 1>we've been talking a lot about. Lee Sterling, Paramount Sports

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:17.060
<v Speaker 1>and ParamountSports.com. Lee, how you feeling, man? What's going on?

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel good. I lost a couple pounds last Sunday

0:00:22.020 --> 0:00:25.900
<v Speaker 2>on those 1 o'clock games. So check this out. Just

0:00:25.980 --> 0:00:29.540
<v Speaker 2>picture this. I give out Carolina... They got a nice

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.700
<v Speaker 2>big lead over Philly, right? Feeling pretty good about that game.

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:38.449
<v Speaker 2>Got New Orleans over the Giants. You know, I'm feeling

0:00:38.470 --> 0:00:42.669
<v Speaker 2>great there after that 35-0 run. And then I've got

0:00:42.710 --> 0:00:45.790
<v Speaker 2>Chicago against Atlanta. So those are my three early games.

0:00:46.270 --> 0:00:47.870
<v Speaker 2>And my wife is sitting there. She goes, how are

0:00:47.890 --> 0:00:50.190
<v Speaker 2>we looking? I said, you know, good in all three games.

0:00:50.729 --> 0:00:53.409
<v Speaker 2>She comes back like 10 minutes later and she's like,

0:00:53.450 --> 0:00:55.780
<v Speaker 2>what's all the yelling and hollering? I'm like, we just

0:00:55.820 --> 0:01:00.630
<v Speaker 2>had like touchdown scored against us unanswered in all these

0:01:00.710 --> 0:01:03.690
<v Speaker 2>games and i said we could lose two and push

0:01:03.790 --> 0:01:07.220
<v Speaker 2>on one if each team scores another touchdown she goes

0:01:07.300 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 2>i just can't take this anymore all these ups and

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.300
<v Speaker 2>downs and walks out and i'm like honey that's the

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.259
<v Speaker 2>nfl that's why we keep coming back.

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.090
<v Speaker 1>You were good though in all three right you ended

0:01:17.150 --> 0:01:19.690
<v Speaker 1>up all good right oh yeah yeah i won.

0:01:19.590 --> 0:01:21.470
<v Speaker 2>All three i won all three but i lost like

0:01:21.870 --> 0:01:24.770
<v Speaker 2>I lost four and a half pounds in 35 minutes.

0:01:24.810 --> 0:01:28.380
<v Speaker 3>The scariest thing for me on Sunday, especially Sundays, is

0:01:28.780 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 3>when I'm winning three or four games early, I think there's–

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.780
<v Speaker 3>how is this going to sustain? I'm winning all these games.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.060
<v Speaker 3>It never fails. That chaos just seems to happen right afterwards.

0:01:39.459 --> 0:01:42.270
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's like with your dog. You're good for like 30,

0:01:42.270 --> 0:01:44.850
<v Speaker 2>40 minutes, and you know– all hell's going to break

0:01:44.910 --> 0:01:46.429
<v Speaker 2>loose eventually.

0:01:46.450 --> 0:01:50.340
<v Speaker 3>You're waiting for– yeah, you're exactly right. You're waiting for–

0:01:50.860 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 3>NFL gambling is like waiting for your shoes to be chewed.

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.020
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get into– Absolutely.

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:58.180
<v Speaker 3>Hypothetically.

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.820
<v Speaker 1>Lee says absolutely. All right, so let's get into some

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.230
<v Speaker 1>of these games. We'll start, as always, with the college games.

0:02:03.710 --> 0:02:08.130
<v Speaker 1>Noon tomorrow, Miami coming off that scare with the Noles

0:02:08.169 --> 0:02:12.450
<v Speaker 1>last week. 20.5-point favorites against a Pittsburgh team that has

0:02:12.510 --> 0:02:15.590
<v Speaker 1>now started two different backup quarterbacks since Heichel went out.

0:02:16.060 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Lost both of those games to UNC and BC. Is

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.860
<v Speaker 1>Miami going to cover? That's a big number, but are

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:22.980
<v Speaker 1>they going to cover? What do you think?

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.940
<v Speaker 2>No love lost between these two coaches. I mean, you

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.470
<v Speaker 2>saw what was going on in the offseason. I mean,

0:02:30.650 --> 0:02:34.850
<v Speaker 2>it got ugly. And Pitt Coach, I mean, he was

0:02:35.220 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>making some pretty strong accusations. You know, they were trying

0:02:38.460 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>to pill for his quarterback, who's now hurt. The weather,

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>that's a big factor. You know, it certainly helped, I think,

0:02:45.460 --> 0:02:49.370
<v Speaker 2>Florida State some last week, pouring rainstorm for the first half.

0:02:49.870 --> 0:02:53.730
<v Speaker 2>Could be some weather. I'm guessing maybe not here. But

0:02:54.050 --> 0:02:57.130
<v Speaker 2>these two backups are so bad. One touchdown and four interceptions.

0:02:57.540 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>in two games. One of the guys was a backup

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.179
<v Speaker 2>at my alma mater, Texas State. Shows you how bad.

0:03:03.419 --> 0:03:05.820
<v Speaker 2>I think the kid decided he's on his fourth school.

0:03:06.220 --> 0:03:08.540
<v Speaker 2>He's like, oh, well, I'm going to get my grad degree.

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll just go out for the football team. And

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>somehow he became the backup. But it's a disaster, a

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>quarterback here. If they had that quarterback, I would take

0:03:17.740 --> 0:03:20.940
<v Speaker 2>Pitt here in the 10 points. I think, believe it

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.620
<v Speaker 2>or not, he's worth at least 10 points. I think

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.770
<v Speaker 2>Miami romps here. Miami's got some injuries, but They will

0:03:26.790 --> 0:03:29.590
<v Speaker 2>get a couple guys back in the defensive backfield. I

0:03:29.610 --> 0:03:31.990
<v Speaker 2>think Miami puts a number on them. Also like the over.

0:03:32.310 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I like Miami here, something like 42-14.

0:03:34.940 --> 0:03:36.790
<v Speaker 3>Lee, I'm not here to talk about the past. I'm

0:03:36.810 --> 0:03:39.260
<v Speaker 3>here to talk about these games. The Heels won last week.

0:03:39.580 --> 0:03:43.060
<v Speaker 3>They are now 10-point favorites over Syracuse. What is the

0:03:43.100 --> 0:03:46.020
<v Speaker 3>play here for a now intriguing Heels team?

0:03:47.740 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Syracuse, you know, they're rotating between four different guys.

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Whoever can hop. We're not talking about... totally health-free, just

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.620
<v Speaker 2>can hop all over the field and maybe play a series.

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>But that's a real big problem here. But North Carolina,

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.380
<v Speaker 2>their defense, they usually feast on bad quarterbacks, and they're

0:04:08.420 --> 0:04:11.570
<v Speaker 2>doing enough. Edwards is moving around. You know, in his past,

0:04:11.610 --> 0:04:13.870
<v Speaker 2>he would throw a lot of interceptions, a couple of

0:04:13.910 --> 0:04:17.050
<v Speaker 2>his last stops. But I think they've figured it out.

0:04:17.310 --> 0:04:19.750
<v Speaker 2>They got Miami next week, big game. But I think

0:04:19.770 --> 0:04:22.510
<v Speaker 2>they'll have a big enough lead here where they'll feel

0:04:22.850 --> 0:04:24.860
<v Speaker 2>pretty comfortable. I'm going to lay the 10 points here.

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.810
<v Speaker 2>With Bill's boys, North Carolina here, 37-18.

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.820
<v Speaker 1>All right, there you go, Heels fans. Lee Sterling is

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>with us breaking down games like he does every Friday.

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.460
<v Speaker 1>But if you want to find his picks for his

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>clients and be one of his clients, he's been doing

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:46.420
<v Speaker 1>great this season. ParamountSports, ParamountSports.com. Lee, Lions Packers, a very

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>interesting one this week in that 425 or so window. Lions,

0:04:52.460 --> 0:04:54.349
<v Speaker 1>a three-point favorite. What do you think?

0:04:55.750 --> 0:04:58.170
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I love one side here. I love the

0:04:58.210 --> 0:05:00.969
<v Speaker 2>Detroit side here. They're all of a sudden getting healthy,

0:05:01.589 --> 0:05:04.109
<v Speaker 2>going to get back one of their key linebackers, one

0:05:04.150 --> 0:05:07.260
<v Speaker 2>of their defensive backs, and coming off the bye. We've

0:05:07.300 --> 0:05:11.340
<v Speaker 2>seen that most teams are faring really well. The players

0:05:11.420 --> 0:05:14.420
<v Speaker 2>are out of the building for five days, but the coaches,

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.740
<v Speaker 2>they get a couple extra days to game plan, and

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>it's been a difference here. I know Green Bay's looked

0:05:19.460 --> 0:05:21.940
<v Speaker 2>good the last couple weeks. I still think that they're weak.

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:26.710
<v Speaker 2>They lost before this run the last two weeks. Key linebacker,

0:05:26.810 --> 0:05:31.469
<v Speaker 2>key offensive lineman again. Now they're down three starting offensive linemen.

0:05:31.529 --> 0:05:34.410
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's going to be tough for Green Bay.

0:05:34.490 --> 0:05:37.310
<v Speaker 2>And I just think Detroit's offense might be the best

0:05:37.390 --> 0:05:40.790
<v Speaker 2>or second best in the league behind Chicago. So you've

0:05:40.810 --> 0:05:42.190
<v Speaker 2>got to lay it if you want to play it.

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.350
<v Speaker 2>It's at home here in a shootout like Detroit here, 45-35.

0:05:45.779 --> 0:05:50.419
<v Speaker 3>Lee, we have a Paris game on Sunday. Steelers, Saints.

0:05:51.060 --> 0:05:54.479
<v Speaker 3>Steelers favored by three and a half. What side is

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:55.180
<v Speaker 3>the right play here?

0:05:56.550 --> 0:05:59.150
<v Speaker 2>I had a friend call me from Paris, and he's

0:05:59.210 --> 0:06:02.289
<v Speaker 2>not a football fan. He goes, what's going on? Is

0:06:02.330 --> 0:06:04.990
<v Speaker 2>there some kind of convention going on? All these people

0:06:05.390 --> 0:06:08.730
<v Speaker 2>wearing a lot of black and different shades of gold

0:06:08.810 --> 0:06:11.860
<v Speaker 2>and yellow. I said, yeah, it's the Steelers against the Saints.

0:06:12.180 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>It's the French quarter against the terrible towel. So it

0:06:18.339 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>should be a fun game. Both fan group bases pretty passionate.

0:06:22.300 --> 0:06:24.500
<v Speaker 2>Difference here is I think Tyler's show just does not

0:06:24.540 --> 0:06:27.430
<v Speaker 2>look good. you know, he's barely completed 50% of his

0:06:27.470 --> 0:06:30.290
<v Speaker 2>passes last week in that game, uh, that they put

0:06:30.350 --> 0:06:33.390
<v Speaker 2>up 35 points. I thought the defense kind of fueled

0:06:33.410 --> 0:06:35.690
<v Speaker 2>that also the running game. And I don't know if

0:06:35.710 --> 0:06:37.110
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be able to crank up that running

0:06:37.130 --> 0:06:40.630
<v Speaker 2>game here against this Pittsburgh defense. So, uh, they early

0:06:40.670 --> 0:06:43.030
<v Speaker 2>and often Pittsburgh and show you so many looks and

0:06:43.390 --> 0:06:47.390
<v Speaker 2>that offensive line might have some problems. So, uh, In Paris, yeah,

0:06:47.430 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>early on Sunday. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers here 24-14.

0:06:51.810 --> 0:06:52.490
<v Speaker 3>I would love to see that.

0:06:52.529 --> 0:06:53.850
<v Speaker 1>It would be a good way, Bo, to get our

0:06:53.910 --> 0:06:54.910
<v Speaker 1>Sunday morning going.

0:06:54.930 --> 0:06:55.170
<v Speaker 2>No doubt.

0:06:55.290 --> 0:06:58.570
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to eat that while having French toast. There

0:06:58.610 --> 0:07:01.169
<v Speaker 3>you go. All right, let's go.

0:07:01.550 --> 0:07:03.330
<v Speaker 2>You've got to have some beignets, guys.

0:07:03.430 --> 0:07:05.430
<v Speaker 1>Beignets? There you go.

0:07:05.450 --> 0:07:06.969
<v Speaker 3>I was trying to eat healthy.

0:07:06.990 --> 0:07:07.789
<v Speaker 2>A little croissant.

0:07:07.810 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 3>I was trying to eat healthy, Lee. Come on, please.

0:07:09.570 --> 0:07:10.100
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

0:07:10.380 --> 0:07:11.180
<v Speaker 1>Healthy.

0:07:11.190 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Do they call it French toast there, or is it

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:15.580
<v Speaker 3>just toast?

0:07:17.100 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>These are the thought-provoking questions that you ask. All right, Lee,

0:07:23.020 --> 0:07:24.910
<v Speaker 1>I know your game of the week is Cowboys-Eagles that

0:07:24.970 --> 0:07:28.350
<v Speaker 1>Monday night game next week. Two really desperate teams. But

0:07:28.390 --> 0:07:31.550
<v Speaker 1>let's talk Panthers-Bucks first. Panthers right around the field goal

0:07:31.610 --> 0:07:34.270
<v Speaker 1>favorite at home. What do you think about that one?

0:07:34.290 --> 0:07:37.910
<v Speaker 2>It looks like Baker Mayfield is going to play in

0:07:37.930 --> 0:07:41.010
<v Speaker 2>this game. So I tried to play one time with

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.180
<v Speaker 2>a broken pinky finger in my throwing hand. And he's

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.660
<v Speaker 2>going to try to go here. with a broken finger

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.990
<v Speaker 2>in his hand, I think it's going to be tough. So,

0:07:50.190 --> 0:07:52.770
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's a tough guy, and he hangs in there,

0:07:52.870 --> 0:07:56.170
<v Speaker 2>and he takes a beating here. But defense has been good.

0:07:57.890 --> 0:08:00.390
<v Speaker 2>They're going to have to, I think, run the football

0:08:00.410 --> 0:08:04.110
<v Speaker 2>on offense, keep this Carolina offense off the field here.

0:08:04.530 --> 0:08:06.710
<v Speaker 2>Difference here is Bryce Young's on a roll here. He

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.740
<v Speaker 2>has more than half the yards than he had last

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.690
<v Speaker 2>year in 16 games. so far in five games. So

0:08:15.710 --> 0:08:21.890
<v Speaker 2>11-2 touchdown to interception ratio. Buck's defense has been good

0:08:21.930 --> 0:08:25.250
<v Speaker 2>as usual, but the pass defense has been their clear

0:08:25.310 --> 0:08:28.030
<v Speaker 2>weakness here. And I think Young's the type of thrower

0:08:28.070 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>that can hurt them in the short passing game. I'm

0:08:32.020 --> 0:08:36.290
<v Speaker 2>going to keep riding. The Carolina Panthers, 27-20. It's going

0:08:36.309 --> 0:08:40.330
<v Speaker 2>to be a nice victory for the Panthers. Here you go.

0:08:40.350 --> 0:08:44.780
<v Speaker 3>&lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; Oh, man.

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 3>I think my voice went out there.

0:08:45.900 --> 0:08:47.020
<v Speaker 1>Lee, is y'all all right over there?

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:47.619
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay. I got it.

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.940
<v Speaker 1>You also, Lee, he also has some sort of hand

0:08:49.980 --> 0:08:53.570
<v Speaker 1>gesture cheer that he does as well when he chants Lee.

0:08:53.630 --> 0:08:55.730
<v Speaker 3>Lee, obviously, that's what Duke fans used to do for

0:08:55.750 --> 0:08:57.199
<v Speaker 3>Lee Malchioni back in the early 2000s.

0:08:57.230 --> 0:09:00.150
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my God. That is a way back. That is

0:09:00.210 --> 0:09:00.850
<v Speaker 1>a way back.

0:09:00.870 --> 0:09:01.750
<v Speaker 3>Know your history, pal.

0:09:01.809 --> 0:09:05.610
<v Speaker 1>He's giving you the Cameron crazy treatment. All right. Lee,

0:09:05.690 --> 0:09:06.130
<v Speaker 1>let's go.

0:09:06.170 --> 0:09:07.770
<v Speaker 3>People want to play your prop, Lee. You've been hot

0:09:07.790 --> 0:09:07.970
<v Speaker 3>on those.

0:09:07.990 --> 0:09:08.390
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:09:08.410 --> 0:09:08.910
<v Speaker 2>I forgot about that.

0:09:08.929 --> 0:09:10.140
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to play your prop for us?

0:09:11.530 --> 0:09:15.860
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do. Kenneth Walker, under 84.5 rushing yards against Seattle.

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.199
<v Speaker 2>I think Seattle knows him inside and out. I think

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.100
<v Speaker 2>they're going to make Kansas City push the ball down

0:09:21.140 --> 0:09:23.650
<v Speaker 2>the field. I mean, they got one receiver that's a

0:09:23.710 --> 0:09:26.430
<v Speaker 2>legitimate receiver on the team. All the rest of these guys,

0:09:26.730 --> 0:09:30.350
<v Speaker 2>because of injuries, are practice squad guys or wouldn't even

0:09:30.390 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 2>be dressing out. under 84.5 rushing yards. And I know

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.500
<v Speaker 2>it's tough. He's run for 665 yards every time he's

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 2>suited up this year. He's the top four NFL running

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.709
<v Speaker 2>back as far as fantasy points, but not this Sunday

0:09:45.750 --> 0:09:50.550
<v Speaker 2>here under 84.5 rushing yards for Kenneth Walker. And how

0:09:50.570 --> 0:09:53.309
<v Speaker 2>about this game of the week, Cowboys and Eagles? This

0:09:53.370 --> 0:09:56.469
