Speaker 1: All right, we've got to get to Lee Sterling.
00:00:01
Speaker 2: We are Lee.
00:00:02
Speaker 3: How do sports headlines after Lee? I don't want to make him wait. He is our guy who makes us money on pro and college football. ParamountSports.com is his website. Lee has made us money on football games and the NCAA tournament for years, and he's with us now.
00:00:17
Speaker 1: Hello, Lee.
00:00:19
Speaker 2: I'm good.
00:00:20
Speaker 3: Good.
00:00:20
Speaker 2: How about yourself, Mo?
00:00:22
Speaker 1: I am well.
00:00:23
Speaker 3: I'm excited for this game on Sunday, Bengals and Steelers. It's going to be a lot of fun.
00:00:27
Speaker 1: How about yourself?
00:00:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's been a fun year. I had to sweat out going into Monday night. We were sitting at 6-6, and it just felt real good that Carson Wentz, this would probably be his last game. And that's why they played him, to see what they had there. And so we fired away a big max wager on the Buffalo Bills. So I just don't think you're going to see too many gifts like that, and it led to our 10th. winning week out of 11 weeks this year. So going to just try to keep rolling. That's what it's all about. Figuring out the puzzle each week.
00:01:04
Speaker 1: No question about that. All right, let's start with college football.
00:01:06
Speaker 3: Ohio state is coming off back to back losses, but still heavy favorites against Northwestern.
00:01:13
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Northwestern without their star quarterback, maybe the most improved quarterback, Aiden Charles in the, in the big 10. I don't even think it's close. I think they've got problems. So Ohio State, I mean, that was one of the craziest games. You're up 14-0 and just dominating. And then if you went outside and, you know, played with the kids for 10, 20 minutes, you're like, what happened? A 34-0 run. You may never see that happen against Ohio State, but that's the bottom line. They just couldn't get the job done here. And I think that they're going to be fine. I think they're going to bounce back. I just think it's one of those games that– Once the wheel starts rolling, you just can't stop it here. And when you watch what's going on here with Northwestern, their backup quarterback, this kid just is not good enough. This kid is like a... He, I don't even know if he could play in the Mac here. So I like Ohio state big here. I think they bounced back. I think they win this game. 41, 14. All right.
00:02:14
Speaker 3: Speaking of bouncing back and the Bearcats bounce back, Cincinnati stayed within the number against Houston.
00:02:19
Speaker 1: It's a game.
00:02:20
Speaker 3: They could have won, but did not. Now they're getting a field goal in aims against Iowa state.
00:02:26
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's not whether or not you're the better team or not. It's the matchup. And I just think that the running game here for this Iowa State team is probably going to be the best unit. So take nothing away

from Cincinnati. They play hard here, but I think they're up against a team that, you know, probably is playing their best football. They scored 82 points in the last two games after scoring 13 in the previous two. J.C. French, a nice 15-3 touchdown to interception ratio here. But unfortunately... He can only help that defense so much. Cincinnati run defense, 4.87 yards per carry here. And, you know, the running back and the wide receivers are banged up here. Tab and also Gibson. I'm going to take Iowa State here. I think they went in a fun game here, 38-31.
00:03:16
Speaker 1: Lee, I'm not sure I love you that for that one, but I get it. I understand. You got to be objective.
00:03:24
Speaker 3: All right, let's stay in college. Indiana, more than a touchdown favorites against USC.
00:03:29
Speaker 2: I mean, this line's going up, and there's no injuries. I double and triple checked the last two, three hours. This line's at nine and a half points now. We don't even know who's going to start a quarterback for Indiana, Josh Hoover or Grant Wilson. I also was studying all the teams that Indiana played, and their defense is good. I just realized this about an hour ago. Every team that Indiana has played in the Big Ten, they lost last week. So I think USC coming off the bye, if they had played right after that upset of Ohio State, I'd probably look to Indiana. But with a week to digest it here, get refocused here, put in some– you know, we're seeing teams coming off of a buying college football. It is a huge advantage here. I think Indiana escapes here, 23, 20, but I think you take the nine and a half points. All right.
00:04:17
Speaker 3: Lee Sterling from paramount sports.com is with us. Speaking of coming off a buy the Pittsburgh Steelers come to Cincinnati. They are getting three and a half against the Bengals coming off the Madrid ship. Both teams are six and two first place on the line.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: What gives?
00:04:33
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, this Pittsburgh Steelers team has shocked even me. I really thought that they were going to have trouble even getting close to 500, but somehow they did it here. I even thought they were going to make some trades here, bring in some guys, but that didn't happen either. But another team coming off of a buy here so they can game plan. And what's Cincinnati's weakness? Well, it's protecting the quarterback and running the football on offense. And Pittsburgh. I mean, they just, they seem to play usually their best against Cincinnati. What does Cincinnati do when all of a sudden everything is looking bright? They usually fall on their face. So would I love to see Cincinnati win? Yes. If this is the one game that I lose and also the Bearcats, I would love to see it. I've never liked Pittsburgh dating back to the early seventies and their fans, their obnoxious fans here. But I think with the bye week and their defense and their offense is actually playing pretty well and they have a better running game with Jalen Warren. He's playing his best football. Wrong team favorite. Pittsburgh, 31-28.
00:05:44
Speaker 1: Lee, you're going to have to come in and do the show for me on Monday if you're right.
00:05:50
Speaker 2: I'll do a, I'll do two segments. I'll do a double segment for you. The problem is most handicappers are not fans. I'm a fan. So trust me, it pains me to give out the Steelers. So Sorry about that. I hope I'm wrong in this one case. All right.
00:06:10
Speaker 1: We'll see your game of the weekend.
00:06:12
Speaker 3: Lee, the Houston Texans have won three out of four Cleveland lost their last two. They're debating in Cleveland, whether the Browns should have played for a tie last week. And I think there's some validity to the argument. The Browns are getting five against the Texans.
00:06:27
Speaker 2: True. It's better. It's better than a loss in every case. So interesting game here. I found a matchup. I think that's going to make a big difference. You want to get the Texans and Browns, just call 800-400-9741. I'll give you the game for free, 800-400-9741. How about this?
