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.

Marshall vs. FIU

FIU has the better defense. That's a nice place to start. They are going against what is probably considered the 3rd string QB in R.Cato. First and second-string QBs for Marshall have both been lost to injuries. Cato is a freshman, and, though he's gotten some experience playing, he's just not that good. And, he doesn't have a real strong infantry to offer him enough relief.
FIU has a more stable QB in Carroll, more potential in the running game with Rhodes and Perry, and a star in receiver Ty Hilton. Bottom line: more potential offensive threats.
Finally, FIU has the slight home advantage: the game is being played in Florida.
FIU is the recommendation.
Because Marshall is an injury away from total disaster, I think they'll play it close to the vest with the fr. QB. That should limit their scoring opportunities vs. a tough FIU defense.
On the other side of the ball, Marshall does play pretty decent defense, so I don't expect FIU to totally run away with the score.
The under in the FIU-Marshall contest is the recommendation.
