2023 Mutual Fund

Here's how the Mutual Fund works: Invest 1 or 2 shares in the Fund at $50.00 per share( maximum of 2 shares per person). I'm able to invest up to 22 shares, but, my total shares contribution will be determined by how many people sign up. Yes, I will put my money where my mouth is! I do the handicapping work. I make the picks. I determine what units will be invested in each pick. Unit plays will fall into 4 possibilities: 1-unit; 1/2-unit; 1/4-unit and 1/5-unit. (A 1-unit play represents my strongest play). The most you can lose is the value of your share(s). Either 50.00 or 100.00. You cannot lose more. How much can you win? I make no guarantees, but, I'll work my ass off to have a successful year. If I'm blessed to have a good year, I will deduct 20% of each share's profits as payment for my work. My goal is to have picks announced prior to the start of games, but, that is not a guarantee. Sometimes I'm handicapping games right up until the start times. The picks will be given out within minutes of the game(s) starting, with the lines and units on each play. My goal is to start the Mutual Fund on September 28th, but, i reserve the option of starting it one week later. The Mutual Fund ends with the Army vs.Navy game, the unofficial end of the regular season. Payment shares will come soon after. Mutual Fund status will be updated every Tuesday of the regular season, once the fund officially starts. It should be a lot of fun and I tried to make the risk very small. If you sign up, I hope you enjoy it. Email me at sam@college-edge.com if you have any questions. You can make payment right here, at this site via PayPal or call 267-918-1064 if you'd like to arrange another mode of payment or, if you have any questions.

Texas-'Bama: What the BCS says is the National Championship

Will Alabama run the ball on Texas? Texas stopped every team it faced this year on the ground, except for one game, the Texas A&M game. 'Bama ran the ball against every team except Auburn. It's funny that in both of those games you could make the arguement each of the teams were looking ahead to their respective conference championship games. Be that as it may, Bama will run the ball, but, not in a dominant fashion.

Will Bama pass the ball on Texas? I don't believe Bama will have major success passing the ball. This will be the key to the game for me. Texas has one of the best pass defenses in the country, and has faced many more sophisticated passing offenses than this Bama pass offense represents.
Will Texas run the ball? Probably not. But, I don't think they need to run the ball much. Just enough to keep the rush off of QB Colt McCoy. Which leads to the final matchup question:
Will Texas pass the ball on Alabama? I don't believe McCoy will have much success passing the ball vs. Bama. I do believe McCoy will have more success at his position than McElroy will have at his, and this will be my key to the game.

I have to believe it's obvious both teams will come to play, so incentive should be a push.

These are two very good defenses, despite what happened to Texas in the A&M game. Alabama does have the better defense, but, not by as much as I'd like in a bowl matchup. That means I go to the QB matchup, and in my opinion, Texas has the bigger advantage at that position. McElroy had trouble in the Miss., So.Caro., Tennessee, and LSU games passing the ball. I would call Texas' defense the equal of any of those four SEC defenses. That's why I think McElroy will have limited success tonight. He better have limited success because my recommendation is based on Texas containing McElroy, and Texas' Colt McCoy making more big QB plays.

Texas in a 2-unit recommendation over Alabama. These two defenses are border-line spectacular. Sometimes the obvious play is the correct play. The under in a 2-unit recommendation.

It's been a lot of fun, as usual, this year. And, like every year in the past, I'm sad to see it end.
