Lee Sterling 10 - 11
(upbeat music) - Welcome in from Paramount Sports, a good friend Lee Sterling, who hopefully is doing well after the hurricane came through the state of Florida. First off Lee, how are you and the folks doing down there? - Good, 'cause we only really had probably maybe 30, 40 mile an hour wind, so we were very lucky, but I went through Andrew, I lost a home then, so I know what people are going through, and they're still, you know, even if you had damage, best case scenario, a lot of people lost power, and there's still 2 1/2 million people without power, so you gotta feel for these people, and if you can do what you can do to help out, gotta do your part, I got a friend who's in from Tampa, and he'll be here until he gets to the power back. - Wow, I love it, neighbors helping neighbors, so glad to hear your safe, and we've got a fun weekend of college football forthcoming, you guys have been rolling in the last couple of weeks, 14 and four, winning both the 45-unit plays, and you're at 68 and 24 in a lifetime, so I'll let you brag a little bit on the job you guys are doing right now at Paramount Sports. - Well, what we try to do is we try to identify the bigger plays, I mean, some of the better services will hit 58, 60% on their better plays. We're hitting about 56, 57% on our normal plays, and when you can hit over a almost 20-year period, 68 and 24, which is 74%, you're making a lot of people happy, so we're working hard, sometimes there's some obscure games or a total, but we're on a roll right now, anyone wants to get involved, normally you've got to be a monthly or season subscriber to get our 40 to 50-unit Max Wagers. This is the first time I've ever done this. I'm gonna allow people to get my Max Wagers on both Saturday and Sunday, five selections, we're gonna start rating from 20 to 50 units, $55, so if you're trying it on your own, not working out, maybe you're with another service, they're not doing the job, give us a shot, each day five selections, $55, and it will include the 40 to 50-unit Max Wager, one place, ParamountSports.com. - All right, let's get into the games, and let's start with Ole Miss giving three going to LSU, did their statement about feigned injuries, change your mind in any way about how they're playing? - No, it's like believing in politician, I mean, you know, I mean, these football coaches, I mean, Lane Keppin, you know, it's behind this whole thing, let's be honest, now, this is basically an elimination game, whoever loses this game is all but out of the college football playoff, statistically, it looks like you wanna probably back LSU, I mean, they're 4-1-1 against the spread as a home underdog since 2021, the game is being played at night, they're coming off of a buy, but I just am not buying in, they have not run for 135 yards against any of the three power five teams they face, they allowed 243 rushing yards to South Carolina, South Carolina, having their problems on offense here, so I'm not buying in here, the only thing that gave me pause for concern was the condition of Trey Harris, or star receiver, but I'm here and he will play now, for that reason, I like Ole Miss here, 35-28. - All right, speaking of the game talks, what is South Carolina walking into tomorrow where Alabama is a 21-point favorite? - Yep, so I'm looking at this game here, I'm gonna make a prediction, I'm gonna say Lenore Sellers is not a quarterback next year, I'm gonna say he's gonna be moved to tight end, blind backers from other position, I just don't think he's the guy that can take him forward, still not completing passes for 60%, that's like the mark you gotta be minimum to be successful normally, only two touchdown passes here, I think they're facing the Crimson Tide defense at the wrong time after giving up 34 and 33 points, Vanderbilt's veteran people think, Vanderbilt's offensive schemes, their options, their blocking schemes, very sophisticated, they're better than people think here, I mean, South Carolina's been, the quarterback's been sacked 22 times this year already, there is no data for this new coaching staff, but Nick Saban's final 10 years, he was awful lost, eight no straight up, average margin was 23.3 points here, there's enough guys around there provide leadership here, I think it's gonna be tight for a while, then I think Alabama pulls away 40 to 15. - All right, and your last one, Clemson giving 20 at Wake Forest, the way the Tigers have played, is that enough? Should they be giving you? - You know, here's what's interesting, Wake Forest talent wise can't match up with Clemson, Clemson right now playing the best football in the ACC, I don't think anyone would doubt that. Dave Paulson is just such a good coach, he can develop kids, he's seven and three, he's spread the last 10 years against Clemson, and that win last week where they came back from behind, that's a huge win for this program, I think they're laying in the weeds here, not on the national radar, conference game here, pesky offense, got a quarterback that's been around everywhere, I mean, around for six, seven years, Hank Bach, my first at Boise, then at Louisiana Tech here, so he's seen it all, I think Clemson wins the game here, 38 to 24, but I think Wake Forest is the right play under the number, yep. - All right, man, leave your free play at ParamountSports.com, Tennessee, Florida this weekend. - Yeah, it's a big, I mean, the biggest rivalry still in college football, anyone wants to get it for free, be just one of the first, five colors, we'll give it to them, call 800-409-741, first five colors, I'll be Santa Biden, give you the game for free, I love one side of this game, and explain to you everything how you can get involved, in my whole service, so just call 800-409-741, and if you want to take advantage of this huge, huge, five for 55 special, Saturday and Sunday, just $55, and like I said, it will include the 40 to 50-unit Max Wager, just one place, ParamountSports.com. - Lee Sterling, his Sterling picks with us here tonight on Sports Talk. Lee is always glad to hear you're safe, first of all, and we appreciate the time tonight. Good luck this weekend, we'll talk to you next Friday. - Thanks Chris, you'd be good, be safe. - Yes sir, thank you, Lee. As Lee Sterling, not only a prognosticator, a predictor, Lenoir Sellers would not be a quarterback next season at South Carolina, stunning stuff from Lee Sterling.
