FanDuel Week 6 Results and Value Picks for Week 7

Hey there.  Week 6 is in the books and another exciting NFL week has come and gone.  I offered a few value picks for FanDuel last week to help your lineups and not all of them panned out as I had hoped.  Specifically, Danny Woodhead.  Woodhead was on pace to hit my predicted score (15 points) but what should have been a TD pass was knocked away at the last second.  Woodhead ended up with 9.6 points, well under the 15 I hoped.  James Jones was the other player that didn't work out.  I had him for at least 14 points and he ended up with only 10.  Jones only had 2 catches for 30 yards, but one of them was a TD catch.  Both Gary Barnidge and Allen Robinson exceeded my point prediction so I hope you guys ended up putting them on your team.  Anyways... after placing my team and entering the $2 single entry tourney, I came up a loser.  The losing streak continues at 2 losses in a row!  I needed 145.20 points to come up a winner and I ended up with 135.66.  I missed out by less than 10 points!!!  So far this season I'm 2 and 4.  I've put in $7 and I've won $9.  Here is my line up for week 6:

FanDuel Week 5 Results and Value Picks for Week 6

Hey there.  Week 5 is in the books and another exciting NFL week has come and gone.  I offered a few value picks for FanDuel last week to help your lineups and not all of them panned out.  Specifically, the Giants D.  I had them pegged for a cool 14 points and they ended up only getting 2.  Colin Kaepernick decided to show up and play and the Giants just couldn't pressure him into bad throws.  The others did faitly well, though.  James Jones 14.7 points (I predicted 18) on only 2 catches, Todd Gurley didn't find the end zone, but netted 15.9 points (I predicted 16) and Allen Hurns came up big with 20.1 points.  Anyways... after placing my team and entering the $1 single entry tourney, I came up a loser.  The streak ended at 2 wins in a row but man, was I ever so close!  I needed 142.30 points to come up a winner and I ended up with 141.60.  I missed out by less than a point!!!  So far this season I'm 2 and 3.  I've put in $5 and I've won $9.  Here is my oh so close line up for week 5:

FanDuel Week 4 Results and Value Picks for Week 5

Hey there.  Week 4 is in the books and another exciting, unpredictable, and controversial NFL weekend has come and gone.  I offered a few value picks for FanDuel last week to help your lineups and not all of them panned out.  The Raider D wasn't as strong as I hoped since Jay Cutler ended up starting for the Bears, Ryan Matthews didn't get going since DeMarco Murray ended up starting, and even James Jones didn't produce as well as I hoped against that weak 49ers defense.   Well... at least Karlos Williams came up with a pretty good game.  Anyways... after placing my team and entering the $1 single entry tourney, I came up a winner.  So far this season I'm 2 for 2.  Didn't win crap in Week 1 and 2 but came up on some cash in Week 3 and 4.  I've put in $4 and I've won $9.  Here's my winning lineup for week 4:

Thin Films

A variety of methods are used to create thin film used across many industries. Thin film layers are measured in monolayers (a fraction of a nanometer) to micrometers of thickness. Semiconductors and optical coatings are the primary applications that benefit from thin film constructs.

The oldest method, known as Successive Ionic Layer Absorption-Reaction (SILAR), is needed to create thin film from various substrates to produce a variety of coatings for applications such as semiconductors and solar panels. Other thin film methods include thin film sputtering, sputtered coatings, hard/other sputtered coatings, evaporated coatings, and circuit fabrication.

Loving FanDuel Fantasy Football

Hey there.  I've been playing Fantasy Football for years.  I'm usually in a league, playing against friends, but I also started using FanDuel to play fantasy football about a year or so ago.  I played in a lot of free leagues in an effort to hone my skills and just last year, I decided to try my hand on a few $1 games at FanDuel.  Mind you, I wasn't very good at it.  I would rarely reach the 100 point mark (you usually need more than 125 points to come out a winner) but it's still something that I very much enjoy.  For the first two weeks of the season, I came up empty.  No wins... but last night, I notched my first win of the season.  Here's my winning lineup:
