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.

Cal's Golden Bears vs. Oregon Ducks

Last year Cal had an experienced QB who completed 60% of his passes. This year they have a starting QB in Maynard, who is the 253rd rated QB coming out of his HS class, is new to this Golden Bear system, and is a transfer from Buffalo U., where he was just mediocre. Unfortunately, that mediocrity has carried over to Cal.
Last year, Cal had 1200 yard-rusher, Shane Vereen. He left early and was drafted #2 in the NFL draft. His replacement is an okay, but, not dynamic runner Cal has consistently put on the field in recent years. (His name is Isi Sofele).
Cal's defense is okay, but, they have given up 21, 33 and 31 points to Fres.St, Colorado, and Washington, respectively. That won't cut it vs. Oregon.
Here is my bottom line: if Cal has a chance to stay in contention with Oregon, they need all their offensive "ducks" in line. They don't. I don't think you can go into Oregon(they're 8-2 as home favorites under Kelly) and expect to cover with BIG question marks on offense. And, Cal has big question marks on offense.
This is not a revenge game, but, it's close. Cal probably should have beaten the Ducks last year. I think coach Kelly will emphatically remind his team of that.
Oregon Ducks are my recommendation in tonight's ESPN, Pac 20 game. (I'll call the Pac 10 whatever I feel like calling them).
