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.

Strong Conference vs. Weak Conference matchups

One of the toughest handicapping spots is evaluating games where a team from a strong conference plays a team from a weak conference. Teams from the stronger conferences simply get the better recruits, so it would be assinine to assign the same point value to returning starters, for example. Second string players on a Florida would be all-conference players in the MAC conference.
I have come to believe when a team from a strong conference plays a team from a weak conference(e.g.Big 10 vs. MAC), the team from the weaker conference must have no weak links. If they do, go with the team from the stronger conference. Let's take the Arizona-Toledo matchup from last night. Arizona had some defensive questions, with only 4 starters back, and a new defensive coordinator( Stoops' brother left for another DC job). In conference, the Wildcats will pay for those deficiencies. But, against a Toledo squad with much lower recruited athletes, Arizona's weaknesses were never exposed. Toledo had a very weak link in the one spot they needed to be tough, at the QB position. On defense, they had only 5 starters back on a squad that was absolutely horrible last year. They might be able to get away with those deficiencies in conference, but, not against a team that gets the kind of recruits Arizona gets.
We took advantage of this conference imbalance in the ISU-N.I. game and will continue to look for other similar situations.

STAY IN TOUCH THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR MORE POSSIBLE RELEASES.

Didn't think the Illini could hang with Missou. Sometimes you have to be happy with the games you stayed off. I liked Missou, but, I had the line at -11 and thought the actual line was too high for a rivalry matchup. As much as I don't like Ron Zook as a game-day coach, he still gets good recruits. You must always be wary of teams with good recruits.
