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.

MIAMI vs. PITT, PLUS A LOT MORE!

Take the time to read the articles below. It's good reading!

Ok, let's evaluate tonight's ESPN matchup between Miami/Pitt.

An inexperienced offensive line, and an inexperienced QB in sophomore Sunseri means to me that Pitt will have limited success both running and passing the ball vs. Miami's pretty tough defense. The 'Canes actually played better defense against OSU than the final score might indicate. They held the Buckeyes to 3.7 yards a carry, and under 50% in completion percentage. Not bad!
Miami has an inexperienced offensive line, but, the more experienced QB in Harris. They have decent running backs. I don't think those running backs will have overwhelming success against a Pitt defense which has become pretty reliable against the run. The difference in this game, in my opinion, and what will make Miami victorious, will be the more steady play of the better QB in the game, Miami's Harris. He faces a Pitt defense which is inexperienced in the CB position.
Pitt is a proud program with an increasing amount of highly recruited players. They are playing on a Thursday night on ESPN, and that gives the clear intangible edge to the Panthers tonight. Without looking at the line, I made Miami a 3.5 favorite. The present line is 3.5, Miami. I feel a slight lean to Miami, but, there will be no recommendation on the game.
Because of Pitt.'s inexperience in the O-Line, and QB, and because I believe Pitt will have some success stopping the rush game of Miami, I'll recommend a 1* play on the under in this game.

Some thoughts on upcoming weekend games: Did you see the very weak schedule the Big 10's playing this week... Is V.T. back, or are they an undeserved favorite at B.C...My big question in the Alabama-Ark. matchup is will Ark. be able to play enough defense to give their prominent offense a chance to keep up...Kentucky has really run the ball well this year, and they have a terrific RB in Locke, but, they haven't played a decent team yet. Their Florida game is interesting because the Gators haven't really played well yet... I'm really looking forward to the S.Caro-Auburn game. Can Auburn Fr. QB Newton keep the magic carpet ride going against the Gamecock tough defense... North Carolina doesn't exist for me anymore this season. I thought this team had a chance to have the best defense in the country, and with 10 starters back on offense, a chance at the National Title. No more. What may have been an interesting matchup vs. Rutgers now means nothing to me. I will not even look at scoring updates on this game... More to come tomorrow night, so, in the meantime, enjoy tonight's Miami/Pitt contest!
