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.

Anatomy of a Handicapped Game, ArkSt vs. FIU: Part II

In contrast to the new coach, Malzahn, of Ark.St, coach Mario Cristobal of FIU has the supposed experience edge. He's in his 6th year with the Golden Panthers.
My early impressions of FIU's team: offense in flux, defense should be strong.
The team looked relatively strong on offense with experience at every spot on that side of the ball, including 1200 yard-rusher Kedrick Rhodes. Here's the problem: designated starter at QB, Jake Medlock, is hurt. Now, Medlock isn't a returning starter from the '11 team, and he's only a sophomore, so he shouldn't be that hard to replace. His replacement is a freshman( EJ Hilliard), so that will be a big factor when I make my final decision tomorrow.
FIU has a large amount of starters back on defense(9.8), and the good point is last year's Panther defense, with most of these same players, was a very good one. Here is my challenge. FIU is 1-4 going into this game, which is okay since they did play UCF, Louisville, and Duke. The game that is making this whole endeavor challenging is their loss to Louisiana by the surprising score of 48-20! That's a pretty good butt-kicking, and that game will force me to take a more concentrated look at FIU's chances in this Sun Belt matchup.
Tomorrow, I add up the value of each team's positions, factor in conference and home records, and reveal which team has the higher College Edge team rating. I believe FIU will be rated higher, but, at this point, I have no idea if I'm right. I'm looking forward to the answer.
