00:00Let's go, Lee.

00:01Let's go, Lee.

00:02Lee Sterling is on the Toyota of Hollywood hotline,

00:06and he's a professional sports handicapper.

00:09The website is ParamountSports.com.

00:13Don't you do one of the Lockdown betting sites?

00:16Lockdown Bets.

00:17It's the only betting show on the Lockdown Network.

00:19I have over almost 300 shows.

00:22Well, let's bang through some bets here,

00:24because I have a few games I want to get to,

00:26and we don't have a ton of time.

00:27So I'm going to start with the Miami game.

00:30Obviously very important to you and me.

00:33University of Miami at home Sunday night hosting Notre Dame,

00:39and Notre Dame is two, two-and-a-half point favorite,

00:43depending on where you see it.

00:46So the strength of my game pretty much is going to depend on the weather.

00:50If the weather's better, I think it favors Miami.

00:53Notre Dame, good running back.

00:55Well, great running back, Jeremiah Love.

00:57Almost 1,200 yards, 17 touchdowns.

01:01They're going to try to run the ball and not take a whole lot of chances

01:04with their brand-new quarterback, C.J. Carr.

01:06I love the addition of Corey Heatherman.

01:09I think it's going to make them a top-10 defense here within two years.

01:16I love the fact the place is going to be jumping here,

01:19and I think Carson Beck's going to be good enough

01:21with that offensive line of running backs.

01:23And I think the passing game will come around here.

01:27Wrong team favored.

01:29Miami straight up.

01:30Low-scoring game, 23-20.

01:32There we go.

01:33Crowder wanted to hear.

01:34Crowder's all over the under.

01:35I'm all over the under.

01:37I've been saying the under for two weeks.

01:39Now it's going to be raining?

01:42Come on, man.

01:44Let's see here.

01:45I'm just writing it down.

01:46Miami money line.

01:47How about FSU?

01:48I'll do the big Florida schools here.

01:51FSU, Miami, and University of Florida, unfortunately.

01:56FSU, big one to start the season.

01:59Alabama.

02:00And Alabama is a 13-and-a-half point favorite.

02:04Thomas Castellanos.

02:05What is he doing?

02:06I mean, talking smack to the Alabama defense.

02:11I don't like it.

02:11I think FSU obviously had to grab a quarterback, but they were looking at the guy that had the

02:18best game the entire year against him, Thomas Castellanos from BC Beat'em, scored 28 points.

02:23Other than that, he never scored 23 points the entire season.

02:27So if he's forced to pass the ball, he is not a drop-back passer here.

02:33He needs to run around, make things happen here.

02:36And I think this Alabama team is reloaded.

02:38I think they're top two, top three in the SEC, and I think they're going to make it to the playoff blowout special here.

02:45I like Alabama here.

02:47Roll Tide, 38-20.

02:50All right.

02:50Now, Crowder's Florida Gators.

02:53They've got a biggie to open the season as well.

02:57Long Island University.

02:59Long Island.

03:00Long Island University.

03:01Florida, from what I see, is a 45-and-a-half point favorite.

03:06So we had trouble finding a whole lot of tape on Long Island when you gave me this game early this morning, Mark.

03:13And their quarterback is Ethan Greenwood.

03:16They list him as 5'11", 185.

03:18He's like 5'8", 160, tops, wet, coming out of the shower.

03:24He threw for more than 200 yards just one time last year.

03:28They played two crowds of less than 1,000 fans, only two crowds of more than 5,000 people there.

03:38He also plays receiver a little bit.

03:41He had eight catches for 144 yards and two touchdowns.

03:45Dynamic.

03:46It's going to be trouble here for Long Island.

03:49No upset here.

03:49I like Florida big.

03:52How about this?

03:52I think the record is something like 76 points that they've won, margin of victory.

03:59I think it was Steve Spurrier in like 96 or 97.

04:0377-nothing here, Florida over Long Island.

04:07Would you ever play that?

04:08Would you ever lay 45-and-a-half points?

04:10Yeah, yeah.

04:11I mean, this team looks really bad, Long Island.

04:14Really bad.

04:15We beat FAMU 70-3 when I was there.

04:19That's only 67 points.

04:21We need another 10 points to get to 77.

04:24How about Solana's, FIU Panthers?

04:28Tonight, they are in action at Pitbull Stadium.

04:31FIU is a 30-and-a-half point favorite over Bethune-Cookman.

04:36Bet you didn't know this.

04:38FIU's played Bethune four times, lost all four times.

04:43They play two different quarterbacks.

04:47They have a next-level receiver and kick returner, Malik Huggins.

04:53This guy is next.

04:54You're going to hear his name.

04:55I think he's going to get drafted and make an NFL roster.

04:59I think FIU is totally reloading here.

05:03FIU escapes here 24-23.

05:08Wow.

05:09Wow.

05:10Solana's got to send shivers up your spine, squeaking past Pitbull-Cookman.

05:18We're taking BC plus the points there.

05:21All right.

05:21And then the real big game this weekend, one versus three, Ohio State two-point favorite

05:27over Arch Manning and Texas.

05:31I will make this one bet that Steve Sarkeesian will never, in this game, call like he did

05:39from the one-yard line.

05:41When he had a first down at the 1A, he's not going to go in the shotgun and run a toss sweep.

05:46Trust me.

05:47After he did that in the last game, lost seven yards.

05:50It was game, set, match.

05:52Then they had the strip sack for the touchdown, Jack Story.

05:55But Ohio State lost seven of nine of their top tacklers.

05:59I don't think this guy, Julian Sands, is ready yet.

06:02I know they're at home.

06:03He is not ready for primetime.

06:05I'm hearing reports he is not going to be the guy, especially early.

06:10It might take him two, three games to settle in.

06:12Arch Manning, I think he's the guy.

06:14I think the Saints are going to play for him.

06:16They're not trading for anyone.

06:17They're going to try to just win two or three games and sit tight and get Arch and keep that

06:23Manning family going.

06:24I think that Texas, I graded out all the different position groups, except for receiver.

06:30Texas is better, I believe, in every position.

06:33Another wrong team favored.

06:35Texas outright, 24-21 in the horseshoe.

06:38Wow.

06:38There you go.

06:39Lee Sterling.

06:40Check out the website, ParamountSports.com.

06:43You can follow Lee on Twitter, at Paramount Sports.

06:46He likes the Hurricanes' money line.

06:49He likes Bama laying the points against FSU.

06:53He likes UF to romp over Long Island University and their two-position offensive quarterback,

07:02who's also a receiver at times.

07:04He likes Bethune-Cookman plus the points tonight against FIU.

07:12And he likes Texas straight up against Ohio State on Saturday.

07:19All right, Lee, let's have a good season.

07:21You feeling it this season?

07:22Oh, yeah.

07:23I got it.

07:24I had one get married over the summer, and there's talk, and the next year, the other

07:27one's getting engaged.

07:29Oh, yeah.

07:29You got to win big, man, because you got a lot of experience there.

07:33The Sterling family, they don't throw, it ain't no wedding at the VFW.

07:40Sterling throws it down.

07:44Thanks, Lee.

07:45We appreciate it.

07:45We'll talk to you next week.

07:46Thanks, guys.

07:47Be good.
